If I Loved You

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
