I'm so blue, I don't know what to do,

All day through, I'm pining just for you

I did wrong when I let you go away,

For now I grieve about you night and day.

I'm unhappy and dissatisfied,

But I'd be happy if I had you by my side.

Chorus:

If I could be with you, I'd love you strong,

If I could be with you, I'd love you long,

I want you to know I wouldn't go,

Until I told you, honey, why I love you so.

If I could be with you one hour tonight,

If I was free to do the things I might,

I'm telling you true, I'd be anything but blue,

If I could be with you.



All dressed up but still nowhere to go,

How I wish that I could see a show,

But here I wait with no one to call me dear,

The one I love is many miles from here.

Central, give me one-two-three-four-J,

Oh won't you listen, little sweetie, while I say.

Chorus:

If I could be with you, I'd love you strong,

If I could be with you, I'd love you long,

I want you to know I wouldn't go,

Until I told you, honey, why I love you so.

If I could be with you one hour tonight,

If I was free to do the things I might,

I'm telling you true, I'd be anything but blue,

If I could be with you.
