Lyrics

(C)If I said I (F)loved you,

(C)all my life I (F)loved you,

would the line be crossed?

Would the words make sense?

Would the thought be cause for con (Em)cern?

Would you turn to frost?

Would you take of fence

or, per chance, feel (G7)love in re (C)turn?

If I said I (C)loved (F)you,

(C)all my life I (C)loved (F)you,

would you think me cruel

to pre sume as much?

Should I take more time to de (Em)clare?

Would I seem the fool

to ad mit as such?

In my heart, you’ve al ways been (C)there.

Af ter all that we’ve been through, is it now too (Fm)late?

Is it too (C)soon?

Can a man for give?

Were the wounds you bore giv en (G)time to heal?

Af ter so much time can the (F)seed still grow?

Can there still be fire in this (Eb)em ber’s glow?

Do I say the words,

risk as few would dare

such a pre cious bond as we (G)share?

If I said the words,

if I spoke my heart,

if I said out loud what I (F#m)feel,

if I had the strength

once a gain to start,

I would risk the tide and re (Bm)veal it all.

I won der what you’d say,

won der what you’d do,

if I said, my love, “I love (D)you.”
