If I Loved You (Reprise) (Extrait De La Comédie Musicale « Carousel ») - Gordon MacRae

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.

Billy

Well, anyway, you mean you don’t love me.

That’s what you said, isn’t it?

Julie

Yes!

I can smell 'em, can you, ah?

The blossoms. The wind brings 'em down!

Billy

There ain’t much wind tonight… Hardly any.

You can’t hear a sound, not the turn of a leaf

Nor the fall of a wave hittin' the sand.

The tide’s creepin' up on the beach like a thief,

Afraid to be caught stealin' the land!

On a night like this I start to wonder

What life is all about.

Julie

And I always say two heads are better than one to

figure it out.

Billy

I don’t need you, I don’t need anybody helpin' me.

Well, I got it figured out for myself.

We’re not important. What are we?

A couple o' specks with nothin'

Look up there…

There’s a hell of a lotta stars in the sky,

And the sky’s so big the sea looks small,

And two little people, you and I

We don’t count at all.

You’re a funny kid, you know?

I don’t remember meetin' a girl like you.

Hey, you’re tryin' to get me to marry you?

Julie

No!

Billy

Then what’s puttin' into my head, babe?

You’re diff’rent, alright! I know what it is…

You have doped me with that little kid’s face, right?

You’ve adjusted me!

I wonder what it’d be like…

Julie

What?

Billy

Nothin'.

No, I know what it’d be like.

It’d be awful! I can just see myself-

Kinda scrawny, and pale

Picking at my food,

And love-sick like any other guy.

I’d throw away my sweater, and dress up like a dude

In a dicky and a collar and a tie.

If I loved you.

Julie

But you don’t!

Billy

No, I don’t!

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.
