Knowin' We'll Never Know

What if we'd stayed together?
What if we'd really tried?
Would we still be in Tennessee?
Would I have been your bride?

Would we be blessed with children?
Lovingly watching them grow
Oh, the hardest part of seeing you now
Is knowin' we'll never know

We'll never know how much we missed
By not taking love all the way
If we held on just a little bit longer
Where would we be today?

What if I'd been more giving
And a little less bent on success?
Would you have been more willing to wait
If I had answered yes?

Through the years I've often wondered
Why did we ever let go
Oh, the hardest part of seeing you now
Is knowin' we'll never know

We'll never know how much we missed
By not taking love all the way
If we held on just a little bit longer
Where would we be today?

For the rest of my life I wonder
Why did we ever let go?
Oh, the hardest part of seeing you now
Is knowin' we'll never know
Knowin' we'll never know
