Lyrics
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
Kinda scrawny, and pale
Picking at my food
And love-sick like any other guy
I'd throw away my sweater, and dress up like a dude
In a dicky 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
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
Aha I'm not the kinda fella to marry anybody
No, even if a girl was foolish enough to want me to
I wouldn't
Julie
Don't worry about it, Billy
Billy
Who's worried?
Julie
You were right about there bein' no wind
The blossoms are comin' down by theirselves
Just they're in time to, I reckon
