If Only Life Were a Dream, Sweetheart

by Dee Newman

I wonder, what would I do now
If I saw you running towards me, telling me to wait?
If I saw you through a blur of sunlight
With your hair flowing behind you
As when we were young and innocent
And I was dazzled by your beauty?
Would I reach out to you,
Or turn and walk away, as I did then?

Oh, if only life were a dream, sweetheart
If only I had taken you to paradise up above (sh-boom)
And you had told me I'm the only one that you love
Life could have been a dream, sweetheart

All our precious dreams would have come true (sh-boom)
And I would have spent my whole life loving you
If only life were a dream, sweetheart.
