Lyrics
If I could be with you one hour tonight
And I was free to do the things I might
I want you to know I wouldn't go
Until I told you baby that I love you so.
If I could be with you I'd love you long
Just to be with you I'd love you all night long.
I'm telling you true that you'd never be blue,
If I could be with you for one hour,
If I could be with you.
Now if I could be with you one hour tonight
And I was free to do the things I might,
Dear I want you to know I wouldn't go
Until I told you baby that I love you so.
If I could be with you, well I'd love you long.
To be with you I'd love you all night long.
But I'm telling you true that you'd never be blue
If I could be with you for one hour.
If I could be with you.
Writer(s): James P. Johnson, Henry Creamer
