[Intro — Soft Oboe and Euphonium, Warm Woodwind Harmony] [Verse 1 — Intimate Female Voice, Natural Low Register] We talked about the little things The weather and the rain The way the morning filled the room And sunlight touched your face I never meant to fall in love It happened quietly Somewhere between your gentle smile And what you meant to me [Pre-Chorus — Clarinet Answers, Gentle Rising Emotion] I had a thousand things to say But every time you smiled The words I kept inside my heart Would disappear a while [Chorus — Luminous Soprano, Lyrical Euphonium Countermelody] If you only knew How much you meant to me How every ordinary day Became a memory If you only knew The words I couldn't say Would you have turned around for me Or simply walked away? [Instrumental — Oboe and Clarinet Exchange Melodies, Euphonium Responds] [Verse 2 — Tender Natural Voice, Restrained Emotion] I watched you talk about your dreams Of places far away And smiled as though my heart would be Just fine when you were gone I almost told you everything One quiet afternoon But all I said was take good care And hope to see you soon [Pre-Chorus — Warm Horns, Rising Vocal Tension] The moment came, the moment passed And nothing changed at all Except the world I thought I knew Began to feel so small [Chorus — Expressive Soprano, Full Wind Ensemble] If you only knew How much you meant to me How every ordinary day Became a memory If you only knew The words I couldn't say Would you have turned around for me Or simply walked away? [Oboe Solo — Exposed, Expressive, Delicate Ornaments] [Euphonium Solo — Warm Singing Tone, Virtuosic Lyrical Phrases] [Clarinet and Euphonium Duet — Independent Interlocking Melodies] [Brief Female Vocalise — Gentle Coloratura, Natural Soprano] Ah-ah-ah... La-la-la-la... Ah-ah... [Abrupt Silence] [Bridge — Almost Unaccompanied, Intimate Natural Voice] I never asked you to stay I never gave you a reason I only watched the seasons change And let you disappear I wonder if you ever knew How close I came that day To saying everything I felt Before you went away [Final Chorus — Emotional Luminous Soprano, Rich Wind Ensemble] If you only knew How much you meant to me How every ordinary day Became a memory If you only knew The love I kept inside Would anything be different now Or would we still say goodbye? [Final Vocal Phrase — Gentle, Clear, Unforced] I never found the courage To tell you what was true And all the words I never said Are still a part of you [Outro — Oboe and Euphonium Return, Woodwinds Fade Into Silence] [Final Whisper — Close, Natural Female Voice] You never knew... And now You'll never know.
