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 an' 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 love you
   If I loved you!
