"If Only" lyrics

"If Only"

If only, if only...

Saw New York standing black and white
From Goethal's in the distance
Haze plays on lights at night
Wish I could watch and dream tonight

Went to see her days ago
Told her that I'd see her soon
On her block she's flamingo
Wish only I could tell her so

If only, if only, if only I could tell her so
If only, if only, if only I could tell her so

Cos I watched the moon for hours
Watched it slowly fade away
Til my dreams turned into flowers
If only I could tell her so

If only, if only, if only I could tell her so
If only, if only, if only I could tell her so

Left the place that sings to me
Someday I'll stay and call it home
Sign still reads 'No Vacancy'
But the whispers keep on calling me

If only, if only, if only I could tell her so
If only, if only, if only I could tell her so
If only, if only, if only I could tell her so
If only, if only, if only I could tell her so
