 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...
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
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:
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
(repeat chorus slowly)
