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



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

Around 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



How I loved you if I loved you

If I loved you, yes, if I loved you

Baby, if I loved you, oh, if I loved you
