If I Said I Loved You Lyrics - Original Broadway Cast

[Tiernan] 

If I said I loved you 

All my life I loved you 

Would the line be crossed? 

Would the words make sense? 

Would the thought be cause for concern? 

Would you turn to frost? 

Would you take offense? 

Or perchance feel love in return? 

[Grace] 

If I said I loved you 

All my life I loved you 

Would you think me cruel 

To presume as much? 

Should I take more time to declare? 

Would I seem the fool 

To admit as such? 

In my heart you've always been there 

[Tiernan] 

After all we've been through now 

Is the hour too late? 

[Grace] 

Is it too soon? 

Can a man forgive 

Where the wound you won't given time to heal 

[Tiernan] 

After so much time can a seed still grow? 

Can a fire be sparked from this embers glow? 

[Both] 

Do I say the words 

Risk as few would dare 

Such a precious bond as we share 

If I said the words 

If I spoke my heart 

If I said out loud what I feel 

If I had the strength 

Once again to start 

I would risk the tide 

And reveal it all 

I wonder what you'd say 

Wonder what you'd do 

If I said "My love, I love you"
