IF I COULD TELL YOU
Lyrics: Madeleine Marshall - Music: Idabelle Firestone

Richard Crooks, Eleanor Steber, the Firestone Symphony Orchestra 
conducted by Howard Barlow


If I could tell you
The thoughts I cherish
And all the ways you are dear to me,
A tender feeling
Of love revealing
Whene'er your smiling face I see ...
If I could capture
The blue of heaven,
That wondrous rapture within your eyes,
If I could tell you
Of my devotion,
If I could pledge all my love so true,
Then my confession
Would find expression
In all the music my heart sings to you.
