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!

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!
