If I Loved You

• Originally from the 1945 Broadway musical, Carousel
• Music by Richard Rodgers and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
• This version taken from Barbra Streisand's 1985 album, The Broadway Album

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.
