If I Loved You

When I worked in the mill, weaving at the loom
I'd gaze absent-minded at the roof
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, never 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, never to know
How I loved you
If I loved you
