Lyrics
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 mist of day
Never, never to know
How I loved you
If I loved you
You can't hear a sound, not the turn of a leaf
Nor the fall of a wave hitting the sand
The tide's creeping up on the beach like a thief
Afraid to be caught stealing the land
On a night like this I start to wonder
What life is all about
And I always say two heads are better to figure it out
I don't need you or anyone to help me. Got it all figure out for myself. What are we? Just a couple of specks of nothing. Look up there.
Why, you can't even count the stars in the sky
And the sky's so big the sea looks small
And two little people, you and I
We don't count at all
I could just see myself. Kinda scrawny and pale.
Picking 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
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 mist of day
Never, never to know
How I loved you
If I loved you
