Only if I
Kate Ryan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Happy days past by much faster.
As every single moment that I spend with you.
Somehow we let our feelings die, slipping? away without a try.
Bring me back to when we met and start all over

[Chorus:]

If I could turn back time I know I'd do it all again, do it all again wow!
Cause you where the summer of my life.
Only if I could turn back time I know I'd give it again, give my love again wow!
Memories that keeps me warm inside
Only if I


Could see yesterday tomorrow.
Say the things you never heard from me before.
I could have loved you once again.
Only a heart can not forget.
Bring me back to when e met and start all over

Only of I...
You where the summer of my life
If I could turn back time I know I'd do it again, do it again wow
If I could turn back time I know I'd give my love again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kate Ryan's song "Only if I" express the sentiment of longing for a relationship that has passed by too quickly. The first verse mentions how time has flown by, and how the moments spent with her lover seemed to slip away without them even realizing it. The chorus speaks to the desire to go back in time and relive that moment, as the person she loved was the "summer of her life." The second verse speaks of regret over words left unsaid, and how the heart still longs for that lost love. The theme of regret and longing is evident throughout the song, with the singer wishing for a chance to start over and fix what was lost.


The song draws on the common human experience of reflecting on past relationships, and the tendency to romanticize what has been lost. It also touches on the idea of missed opportunities or unspoken feelings, which can be a common source of regret. The upbeat tempo of the music contrasts with the nostalgic and somewhat sorrowful tone of the lyrics, creating an interesting and complex emotional dynamic.

Its scary how fast times flies. This is music that i listened to when i was 14! Now im already 30!

@amanteslogic

I can relate. I started listening to Eurodance (2 Unlimited) back when I was 12 yrs old. Now I'm like 100. Well, 39 yrs old so close enough. 💁
All this music from the 90s and early 2000s inspired me to create the music I do now and I still blast all of it in my car. Great memories!

@Kamilino

Same
But that was the best dance music

@mrh1096

@@amanteslogic you create eurodance music? Cool! Which all songs? I'm gonna subscribe to you to listen to them

@Jane_Throne

I remember when I listened to this song on repeat with my old MP3-Player when driving with the bus to school years ago. Now it's 2020 and this song came to my mind. Still one of my favourite songs ever. The sound/melody and the lyrics are so inspiring!
