Useful detail

Performance tip

When rehearsing If Only, mark breaths before the busier lines so the phrasing stays relaxed. Rehearse that transition in If Only before worrying about stage movement.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

If Only makes sense for a singer who can handle fairly active phrasing and sell the lyric’s point of view. It has a clearly recurring hook. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
