If I Could Be With You (One Hour Tonight)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm so blue, I don't know what to do,
All day through, I seem to say to you,
I did wrong when I let you go away,
'Cause now I dream about you night and day,
I'm so unhappy and dissatisfied
I'll be happy if I had you by my side,
If I could be with you one li'l hour tonight,
And free to do all those little things I might,
I want you to know you wouldn't go,
Until I told you that I loved you so.
If I could be with you I'd love you long,
If I could be with you I'd love you strong,
And I'm telling you for true, you'd be anything but blue,
If I could be with you
