If Only He’d Looked My Way Ivor Novello

(Chorus)
If only he’d looked my way
Just stopped to say
A word of greeting
This "let’s pretend"
Would end there and then
The very moment when
My heart stopped beating
If only he’d turned to smile
That little while
However fleeting
Would always seem
A dream to dream today
If only he’d looked my way

(Verse)
Life's a scramble
Love's a gamble
So they say
Someone breaks the bank
Someone draws a blank
Fortune's fickle
Like a nickel
Thrown away
It's heads or tails
You're in the hands of fate
Till it's too late
