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.
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.
From "carousel"
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
Chorus:
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 love you, if i loved you
Repeat chorus

If i loved you
Words wouldn’t come in an easy way
Round in circles i’d go
Only to tell you
But afraid and shy
I let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you’ll leave me
Ought (?) you would go in a misty day
Never, never let you know
I love you eternally

Happens that we
Just happen to have a couple of arrangements along with us. and, uh, <female fans squeal>
Remember, your elders
Are sitting all around you. <fans laugh> we would like to, uh, do, as one of our encores, a very
Lovely song. this,
If we may digress for a minute, is not from a motion picture-it is from a show called "carousel", it’s
A very lovely
Tune called "if i loved you." <one female squeals>
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
Longin’ 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 love you, if i loved you
<brief instrumental>
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
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
Chorus:
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 love you, if i loved you
Repeat chorus
