If I loved you, time and again I would try to say

All I'd want you to know

If I loved you, words wouldn't come in an easy way

'round in circles I'd go

Longin' to tell you but afraid and shy

I'd let my golden chances pass me by



Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day

Never, never to know

How I'd love you

If-I-loved-you
