If I'd Loved You Then

Well, I'm not the kind of man who sits and complains

I've always been the kind of man who likes to take a chance

I have lived my life to the fullest, I have no regrets

Most of the time I feel I've had the best of it

But I see life's a one way street, you walk along, before too long

You look back and see what you believe just might be wrong

But every now and then I think about what might have been

I wonder how good life would have been if I'd loved you then

Well, I would never take back my wild oats for anything

But I was ready the day we exchanged our wedding rings

I had done all I could do alone, oh, I needed you

And I've found out true love brings out the best in you

But I see life's a one way street, you walk along, before too long

You look back and see what you believe just might be wrong

But every now and then I think about what might have been

I wonder how good life would have been if I'd loved you then

And every day I think it can't get better than this

But love is always changing as we learn to give

I love you more than ever before and it just dawned on me

The longer I love you the more that you will mean to me

But I see life's a one way street, you walk along, before too long

You look back and see what you believe just might be wrong

But every now and then I think about what might have been

I wonder how good life would have been if I'd loved you then
