If Only
Mat Alba Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If only I had one more minute with you
There are things I would say, oh yes
And there are things I would do
If only I had one more day with you
I would pause everything in life
So as to be with you
Cause wherever I go
Wherever I am
I’m always thinking of you
No matter the place
Regardless the time
No one else but you
If only I had one more day with you
I'd love to do anything in the world
Just as long as it's with you
Cause wherever I am
Wherever I go
I’m always thinking of you
No matter the place
Regardless the time
No one else but you
If only I had one more day with you




I'd love to do anything in the world
Just as long as it's with you
