Oh if I knew the words to say
I would say them over
I take them over and again
Make them loud as thunder
Loud as thunder
Loud as thunder
Ring right through the atmosphere
Make them loud as thunder
Oh if I knew the words to say
I would say them over
I say them over and again
Make them sweet as slumber
Sweet as slumber
Sweet as slumber
It's still in deep inside your head
Make them sweet as slumber
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I knew the words to say
I would say them over
I'd say them over and again
Make them wild as fire
Wild as fire
Wild as fire
So that you never could forget
Make them wild as fire
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
If I knew the words to say
Would you hear anyway
Even if they came
Like thunder storming
Oh and if I knew just how
Would you believe me now
Even if it was by sun or heaven afar
Oh if I knew the words to say
I would say them over
I'd say them over and again
Make them sharp as daggers
Sharp as daggers
Sharp as daggers
So they could cut you to the heart
Make them sharp as daggers
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
If I knew the words to say
Would you hear anyway
Even if they came
Like thunder storming
Oh baby, if I knew just how
Would you believe me now?
Even if it was by sun of heaven afar
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
You only listen with your eyes
So I show you every time
I have to show you every time
You only hear it with your eyes
So I show you with the sun
I have to show you with the sun, with the sun
Oh, if I knew the words to say
Would you hear anyway
Even if they came
Like thunder storming
Oh baby, and if I knew just how
Would you believe me now?
Even if it was by sun or heaven afar
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
Oh if I only knew
