I'm so blue, I don't know what to do, All day through, I'm pining just for you I did wrong when I let you go away, For now I grieve about you night and day. I'm unhappy and dissatisfied, But I'd be happy if I had you by my side.
Chorus:
If I could be with you, I'd love you strong, If I could be with you, I'd love you long, I want you to know I wouldn't go, Until I told you, honey, why I love you so.
If I could be with you one hour tonight, If I was free to do the things I might, I'm telling you true, I'd be anything but blue, If I could be with you.
All dressed up but still nowhere to go, How I wish that I could see a show, But here I wait with no one to call me dear, The one I love is many miles from here. Central, give me one-two-three-four, Oh won't you listen, little sweetie, while I say.
Chorus:
If I could be with you, I'd love you strong, If I could be with you, I'd love you long, I want you to know I wouldn't go, Until I told you, honey, why I love you so.
If I could be with you one hour tonight, If I was free to do the things I might, I'm telling you true, I'd be anything but blue, If I could be with you.
