by Karl Flaster (1905 - 1965)
If I had known
Language: English
If I had known, beloved, If I had known, Read in your eyes the tenderness that shone, Life held the beauty of a rose full-blown, If I had known, beloved, If I had known! If I had known, beloved, If I had known, to reap the harvest where true love had sown. Life would hold more than mem'ries alone. If I had known, ah! beloved, If I had known!
