If I Could Be With You
( One Hour Tonight )
If I could be with you, I'd love you
strong,
If I could be with you, I'd love ya
long,
. . . want ya to know, I wouldn't go,
until I told ya honey why I love ya
so!
If I could be with you, one hour
tonight,
If I was free to do the things that I
might,
I'm tellin' ya true, I'd be anythin'
but blue,
If I could be with you, for just an
hour,
If I could be with you!
< instrumental break >
If I could be with you, I'd love you
strong,
If I could be with you, I'd love ya
long,
I want ya to know, I wouldn't go,
until I told ya honey why I love ya
so!
If I could be with you, one hour
tonight,
If I was free to do the things I
might,
I'm tellin' ya true, I'd be anythin'
but blue,
If I could be with you, for just an
hour,
If I could be with you!
