Lyrics Post: If I Loved You

[jhameia]

I don't know why I'm even bothering. I have an MP3 of Michael Crawford (the original Phantom of the Opera and the one who should have starred in the movie thankyouverymuch) singing If I Loved You from the Carousel soundtrack, and I didn't even know there was a movie / show called Carousel. As usual, he sounds absolutely divine, and the lyrics are just so fine, so fine.


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!
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 loved you
If I loved you.
