Lyrics
[man]
[Verse]
In the haze of distant days,
We walked through life in separate ways.
But beneath the surface, a spark ignited,
A connection quietly invited.
[pre-chorus]
In the quiet of the night,
Under starlit skies, I wondered if
you'd stare into my eyes.
But fear held tight and wires crossed
A price too high, a painful cost.
And our chance was lost...
[chorus]
What if I had spoken, what if I had dared?
Would our story be different, if I had bared
My soul to you, in the silence of that night?
Would we have found our way to the light?
What if I had reached out, what if I had tried?
Could we have rewritten our stars in the sky
If I had spoken up that night?
[Verse 2]
That night you called, with your feet so cold
If only I had been too bold.
But as I stood there, in that July air
I just couldn't tell you how much I cared.
I was too scared.
[Chorus]
What if I had spoken, what if I had dared?
Would our story be different, if I had bared
My soul to you, in the silence of that night?
Would we have found our way to the light?
What if I had reached out, what if I had tried?
Could we have rewritten our stars in the sky?
If I had spoken up that night?
[Verse 3]
The morning dawned, with a heavy heart
As I watched you vow, 'til death do YOU part.
Alone in the crowd, my heart sank low,
As I turned away, I just had to go.
[Chorus]
What if I had spoken, what if I had dared?
Would our story be different, if I had bared
My soul to you, in your dress of white?
As you took his Hand, I would never be your man
Leaving me behind, with my heart in my hand.
Our paths diverged, our stars will never align.
Because I didn't speak up that night
[chorus]
What if I had spoken, what if I had dared?
Would our story be different, if I had bared
My soul to you, in the silence of that night?
Would we have found our way to the light?
What if I had reached out, what if I had tried?
Could we have rewritten our stars in the sky
If I had spoken up that night?
