If I Loved You - Alfie Boe

When I worked in the mill weavin' at a loom

I’d gaze absent minded at the roof

And half the time the shuttle oh tangle in the threads

And the warp get mixed with the woof, if I loved you

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

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

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
