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 than one to

Figure it out

We're important

What are a couple of specks with nothing

Look up there

There's a wonderfull lotta a 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

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
