If I Loved You lyrics

Artist  : Frank Sinatra 
Song : If I Loved You
 
<spoken> "thank you very much, ladies
and gentlemen. we’d, we’d like to dispense with
the-uh, it so
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
