If Only

If only I could help you
If only I could say
The right thing to do
To make it go away

If only love could heal
If only time stood still
I could help for real
With nothing but my will

If only strength could sail
If only hugs could fly
I would send both without fail
Through the sea and sky

If only I wasn't helpless
If only I could be wise
I would wipe away the stress
Right before your eyes

If only I could be there
If only for a while
To show you that I care
And to make you smile
