“IF ONLY SHE” 

BETH REID BAUMAN

 

If only she’d known him way back when

Could have unlocked her door and let him in

As a low tide rolled in the dawning light 

They sailed past each other wind wasn’t right 

 

Tried not to think about what was on her mind

Fate brought them together after all that time

 

Years slipped by broken hearts made them wise

They burned through lovers husbands and wives

Built stone forts around their egos

Pierced by cupid’s jagged arrows.

 

Tried not to think about what was on her mind

Fate brought them together after all that time

 

Now she’s with another and promised her life

He lives alone and is doing just fine

If only she’d known him way back when   

Could have unlocked her door and let him in

 

Tries not to think about what was on her mind

Fate brought them together after all that time 

Never would hurt the one that she loves most

But was drawn to him and thinks that he knows

She thinks that he knows

She thinks that he knows
