If I Said I Loved You sing and play along

If I said I loved you,

all my life I loved you,

would the line be crossed?

Would the words make sense?

Would the thought be cause for concern?

Would you turn to frost?

Would you take offence

or, perchance, feel love in return?

If I said I loved you,

all my life I loved you,

would you think me cruel

to presume as much?

Should I take more time to declare?

Would I seem the fool

to admit as such?

In my heart, you've always been there.

After all that we've been through,

is it now too late?

Is it too soon?

Can a man forgive?

Were the wounds you bore given time to heal?

After so much time can the seed still grow?

Can there still be fire in this ember's glow?

Do I say the words,

risk as few would dare such a precious bond as we share?

If I said the words,

if I spoke my heart,

if I said out loud what I feel,

if I had the strength once again to start,

I would risk the tide and reveal it all.

I wonder what you'd say,

wonder what you'd do,

if I said, my love, "I love you."
