-------------------------------------
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-J,
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.
