When I worked in the mill weavin' at the loom
I'd gaze absent minded at the roof
And half the time the shuttle o tangle in the threads
And the warp o get mixed with the woof
If I loved you
But somehow I ken see
Just exack'ly 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
If I loved you
If I loved you
