If I Loved You

When I'd work at the wheel

Weaving at thy loom

I'd gaze absent-minded, at the room

And half the time the shuttle

Tangled with the threads

And the warp

Get mixed with the woof

If I loved you'

But 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

Longing 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 midst of day

Never, ever, to know

How I loved you'

If I loved you

Longing 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 midst of day

Never, ever, to know

How I loved you'

If I loved you'
