If You Never Fell In Love With Me

If You Never Fell In Love With Me - Carmen McRae

I loved you so

Since that first day

The angels let you leave and come my way

Don't you see what a lost lady

I'm liable to be

If you never fall in love with me

I'm not the girl

I was before

'Cause now you own my heart for evermore

I'll be a sail or a drift on an uncharged sea

If you never fall in love with me

If you come through

Say that you're mine

I'll make your life one great big Valentine

We'll built a new love world for two

And we'll find joys no lovers ever knew

I want to stay here by your side

And keep your arms forever occupied

Can't you imagine how empty my future would be

If you never fell in love with me

This little priority could turn into a tragedy

With all my hopes sat and

In my world would tumble to ruin

And yet I see no reason we should let

They change as dream of romance

When all that need is a chance

Can't you imagine how empty my future would be

If you never fell in love with me
