The word "If", just two tiny letters
Says so much for something so small
The biggest little word in existence
Never answers, just questions us all

If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam
If I'd loved you better, I wouldn't be lonely
If only, if only, if only

But looking back now, I see clearly
With my twenty-twenty hindsight
Oh, but don't think I haven't paid dearly
'Cause you could be in my arms tonight

If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds, how my face would gleam
How I let you go, I swear is beyond me
But if only, oh, if only, oh, if only

I could start over, if I could go back
Have the power to change things
Then I would do that
But I listened to others like a fool
Oh, shame on me

But if only you would just come back
If only, dare I even ask
Oh, if only

1968

He's a ruthless opportunist
And he motivates by greed
He's just the way his father was
And that we sure don't need

So they all cried out, "Destroy him
For he wants to see us drowned"
They never understood him
So they put him in the ground

Now some had stood for hours
And some sat on the grass
Listening to their radios
For where the train had passed

And a crowd will get impatient
As the clock hands turn around
They never understood him
So they put him in the ground

They handed out some candles
To the somber, weary crowd
And told us not to light them
Till our eyes beheld the shroud

Not even at that moment
Could there be tranquility
I could feel them push and argue
"Hey, sit down, I cannot see"

They never understood him
So they put him in the ground

When the fathers closed their bibles
And the family left the site
The ropes and walls and hedges
Kind of faded in the night

Replaced by all the people
Who made a prayerful sound
They never understood him
So they put him in the ground

Some people say the eighth of June
But the morning of the ninth
The workmen gently lowered him
By the beam of three work lights

Easy, take it easy
Set him down real slow
He'd been on some rougher trips
But he couldn't tell them so

They never understood him
So they put him in the ground

Now no man has the answers
And he was just a man
And yet I can't help feelin'
That he knew a better plan

A shorter road to justice
On the trip that's freedom bound
But they never understood him
So they put him in the ground

We'd get up before sun-up to get the work done up
We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down
We've stood and we've cried as we helplessly watched
A hailstorm a' beatin' our crops to the ground
We've gone to bed hungry many nights in the past
In the good old days, when times were bad

No amount of money could buy from me
The memories that I have of then
No amount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again
In the good old days, when times were bad

I've seen daddy's hands break open and bleed
And I've seen him work till he's stiff as a board
An' I've seen momma layin' in suffer and sickness
In need of a doctor, that we couldn't afford
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days, when times were bad

We've got up before and found ice on the floor
Where the wind would blow snow through the cracks in the wall
And I've walked many miles to an old country school
With my lunch in the bib of my old drawers
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days, when times were bad

No amount of money could buy from me
The memories that I have of then
No amount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again
In the good old days, when times were bad
In the good old days, when times were bad
In the good old days, when times were bad
In the good old days, when times were bad

Love

Country and Western

1970

You came into my life, at a time when I was down
And I thought I'd never, love again but I think different now
You took my hand and helped me up and I thank you for your precious love
Words cannot express the way I feel, but is it real?

Is it real this love that you have offered me so freely?
You tell me that you love me, but darling do you really?

Don't make me love and lose again, don't make me go through that again
I've known that hurt and I know how it feels, oh is it real
Well you could mend my broken heart, with love as sweet as yours
And I want to believe it's real but how can I be sure
And you could heal the hurt, I've known with the love that you have shown
And all the needs you have I will fulfill, but is it real?

Is it real this love that you have offered me so freely?
You tell me that you love me, but darling do you really?

Don't make me love and lose again, don't make me go through that again
I've known that hurt and I know how it feels
Oh, is it real?
Is it real?
