If I Loved You John Raitt

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

Well, anyway, you mean you don't love me
That's what you said, isn't it?

Yes!
I can smell 'em, can you, ah?
The blossoms. The wind brings 'em down!

Billy there ain't much wind tonight
Hardly any
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
