If I Loved You - Mandy Patinkin

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!

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.

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.

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.
