1. If Only I Could
If I could find a single word
That wipes away Your pain
If I could only find that thing
That makes you smile again
If only I could wave that wand
And take you back in time
So you could see the finer days
And leave this pain behind
If I could help you realize
That in reality
He hasn't gone: He walks a path
Of Peace, my friend, He's free
If I could help you understand
He didn't say Adieu
Just pause a while and you will find
He's here, He lives in you!!
