When I worked in the mill weavin' at a loom
I'd gaze absent minded at the roof
And half the time the shuttle oh tangle in the threads
And the warp get mixed with the woof, if 
I loved you
But somehow 
I can seeJust exactly how 
I'd beIf 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 goLonging 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
Longing 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
