If I Loved You

When I worked in the mill, weaving at the loom
 I'd gaze absent-minded at the roof
 And half the time the shuttle tangled with the threads
 And the warp get mixed with the woof
 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
 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 midst of day
 Never, never to know
 How I loved you
