If I loved You (Carousel)

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 And they always say two heads are better than one to figure it out I don't need you or anyone to help me I got it figured out for myself We ain't important What are we A couple o' specks of nothin' Look up there There's a hell of a lot of 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 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 dickie and a collar and a tie 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 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
