If I Loved You (From "Carousel")

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.

And I always say two heads are better than one to

figure it out.

I don't need you, I don't need anybody helpin' me.

Well, I got it figured out for myself.

We're not important. What are we?

A couple o' specks with nothin'

Look up there

There's a hell of a lotta 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 a funny kid, you know?

I don't remember meetin' a girl like you.

Hey, you're tryin' to get me to marry you?

No!

Then what's puttin' into my head, babe?

You're diff'rent, alright! I know what it is...

You have doped me with that little kid's face, right?

You've adjusted me!

I wonder what it'd be like

What?

Nothin'.

No, I know what it'd be like.

It'd be awful! I can just see myself-
