Here I am
\nWondering what might\u2019ve been
\nIf I had just
\nDone it right
\nAt the right time
\nThe right place
\nThe right way

\nTo be holding you
\nIn my arms right now

\nTo wake up to you
\nTo savor every moment
\nSpent with you

\nIf only I had taken the chance
\nIf only I knew then
\nIf only I\u2019d acted way back then
