If You Were Only Mine Lyrics

If you were only mine,
if you were only mine
I know the sun would shine for me . . .
I'd find my happiness,
to be in your caress,
my every fear and every tear, I'd lose dear . . .
If you could understand,
I know you'd lend a hand,
to all the dreams I've planned for you . . .
Life would be so divine,
I'd worship at your shrine,
Sweetheart, if you were only mine!
< instrumental verse >
Life would be so divine,
I'd worship at your shrine,
Sweetheart, if you were only mine!
