Lyrics If You Never Fall 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 fell in love with me
I'm not the girl I was before

But now you own my heart forevermore
I'd be a sail or a drift on an uncharged sea
If you never fell in love with me

If you come through, say that you're mine
I'll make your life one great big Valentine
We'll build a new love world for two
And we'll find joys no lovers ever knew

I wanna stay here by your side
And to 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 parody would turn into a tragedy
With all my hopes at an end, my world would tumble to ruin
And yet, I see no reason we should let fate change
As dream of romance when all it needs is a chance

Can't you imagine how empty my future would be
If you never fell in love with me?
