If I Loved You

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
