If I Loved You (From "Carousel") - Barbra Streisand

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 So you'd leave me Off you would go, in the midst of day Never, never to know How I loved you If I loved you

Say, tell me somethin' Hm? Ain't ya scared of me? I ain't scared Hey your name, Julie, Julie somethin' Julie Jordan You're a queer one, Julie Jordan Ain't ya sorry that you didn't run away? You can still go if you wanna I reckon that I care to choose to stay You couldn't take my money if I didn't have any And I don't have a penny, that's true And if I did have money, you couldn't take any 'Cause you'd ask and I'd give it to you You're a queer one, Julie Jordan Ain't ya ever had a fella you give money to? No Ain't ya ever had a fella at all? No Well ya must've had a fella you went walkin' with Yes Where'd you walk? Nowhere special I recall In the woods (No) On the beach (No) Did you love him No, never loved no one, I told you that I'm never gonna marry, if I was gonna marry I wouldn't have to be such a stickler But I'm never gonna marry, and a girl who don't marry's got to be much more particular Suppose I was to say to you that I'd marry you You wouldn't marry anyone like me, would you? Yes I would, if I loved you It wouldn't make any difference what you- Even if I died for it How do you know what you'd do if you loved me How you'd feel or anything? I don't know how I know Huh Tis the same, I know how I, how it'd be if I loved you When I worked in the mill, weaving at the loof I'd gaze absentminded at the roof And half the time the shuttle would tangle in the threads And the walk would get mixed with the woof If I loved you But you don't No I don't 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 mist of day Never, never to know How I loved you If I loved you I can smell 'em, can you? The blossoms, their wind brings them down Ain't much wind tonight Hm? Hardly any You can't hear a sound, not the turn of a leaf Nor the fall of a wave hitting the sand The tides creeping up on the beach like a thief Afraid to be caught stealing the land On a night like this, I start to wonder What life is all about And I always say two heads are better than one to figure it out I don't need you or anyone to help me I've got to figure it out for myself We ain't important, what are we? A couple of specks of nothing Look up there There's a hell of a lot of 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 You're different alright, don't know what it is You look up at me with that little kid face like you Like you trusted me I wonder what it'd be like What? Nothing, I know what it'd be like It'll be awful, I can just see myself Kinda scrawny and frail and picking at my food And lovesick like any other guy I'd throw away my sweater and dress up like a dude In a Dickey and a collar and a tie If I loved you But you don't No, I don't 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 mist of day Never, never to know How I loved you If I loved you I'm not a fella to marry anybody Even if a girl was foolish enough to want me to I wouldn't Don't worry about it, Billy Who's worried? You're right, about there being no wind Blossoms are just coming down by themselves Just their time to, I reckon

Can we stop and just get real? This is messing with my head again You're not sure of how you feel If you loved me, you would know, if you loved me Keep tryna convince myself Maybe you just need a little time I should know by now that won't help If you loved me, you would know if you loved me If you loved me, you would know If you loved me, you would know If you loved me, if you loved me If you loved me, you'd be sure If you loved me, you would know If you loved me, if you loved me Silence is the loudest sound You never say where your head is at When I'm in love, I scream it out If you loved me, you would know, if you loved me Hope, but still I try Try to get us through this Hope but even I don't Believe my own excuses And I don't know why 'Cause I know it's useless Yeah, I realise If you loved me, you would know If you loved me, you would know If you loved me, if you loved me If you loved me, you'd be sure If you loved me, you would know If you loved me, if you loved me If you loved me, you would know If you loved me, you would know If you loved me, if you loved me If you loved me, you'd be sure If you loved me, you would know If you loved me, if you loved me Oh, hope, but still I try Try to get us through this (If you loved me, you would know) (If you loved me) If you loved Hope, but still I try Try to get us through this (if you loved me) Can we stop and just get real? If you loved me, you would know, if you loved me

If you still loved me, we wouldn't be apart And I'd be lying next to you without this broken heart If you still loved me If you still loved me, then we'd be making plans And you'd be holding on to me instead of that other man If you still loved me If you still loved me If you still loved me They all told me I should run away They said you'd break my heart and that I'd be in pain They all warned me Said you weren't the one I should have listened Instead of saying they were wrong I should have listened Maybe I should have run If you still loved me Then you would be right here And I'd be holding on to you instead of this empty beer If you still loved me You wouldn't wonder why You'd be saying I do instead of just goodbye If you still loved me If you still loved me They all told me I should run away They said you'd break my heart and that I'd be in pain They all warned me Said you weren't the one I should have listened Instead of saying they were wrong I should have listened Maybe I should have run

I was born from love, and my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book of Jesus 'Til I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again And I can still remember him with love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Never mind the forecast 'cause the sky has lost control 'Cause the fury and the broken thunders Come to match my ragin' soul And now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go I never wanted to go Mama, I never wanted to go

Songbird sings from the heart Each word can tear you apart I sing, you sing along You find your life in my song When you need the strength to carry on You've got me to turn to With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring They've helped you be strong now The song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Who sings for songbird Sometimes when I'm all alone I sing my saddest song Lonely and no one can see This time the song is for me I can touch your secret place inside And still you don't know me With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring You've learned to be strong now My song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Where is my songbird Where is my songbird Who sings his songs for me

Mother, you had me But I never had you I wanted you But you didn't want me So I, I just gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Father, you left me But I never left you I needed you You didn't need me So I, I just gotta tell you I gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Children, don't do What I have done I couldn't walk But I tried, I tried to run So I, I just gotta tell you I gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Mama, mama don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go
