Carousel: If I Loved You

Kind of scrawny and pale, pickin' at my food

And lovesick like any other guy

I'd throw away my sweater and dress up like a dude

In a dickey and a collar and a tie

If I loved you

Oh, somehow I can see

Just exactly how I'd be

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 loved you

If I loved you

Soon you'd leave me

Off you would go in the mist of day

Never, never to know

How I loved you

If I loved you
