If I Loved You

When I'd work at the wheel
Weaving at thy loom
I'd gaze absent-minded, at the room
And half the time the shuttle
Tangled with the threads
And the warp
Get mixed with the woof

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 midst of day
Never, ever, to know
How I loved you'
If I loved you

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 midst of day
Never, ever, to know
How I loved you'
If I loved you'
