IF I NEVER GET TO LOVE YOU
Burt Bacharach (m) Hal David (l)


as rec by Timi Yuro  1962


(sha-la-la-la) Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!
(sha-la-la-la) Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!

If I never get to love you, it won't be 'cause I didn't try,
I'll be trying to possess you till the day I die!
If I never get to love you, it won't be 'cause I run away,
For as long as you will have me, close to you I'll stay!

What I wouldn't give to hold you tight, (sha-la-la-la)
Never lert you out of sight, (sha-la-la-la)
Be the one you give your first kiss every mornin',
The last one you kiss goodnight.

If I never get to love you, it won't be that I didn't care,
There is nothing that I want more, or I need more,
And my heart would surely break in two, (sha-la-la-la)
If I never get to love you!

What I wouldn't give to hold you tight, (sha-la-la-la)
Never lert you out of sight, (sha-la-la-la)
Be the one you give your first kiss every mornin',
The last one you kiss goodnight.

If I never get to love you, it won't be that I didn't care,
There is nothing that I want more, or I need more,
And my heart would surely break in two, (sha-la-la-la, la)
If I never get to love you! (sha-la-la-la)
If I never get to love you! (sha-la-la-la)
If I never get to love love love you! (sha-la-la-la)
If I never get to love you! (sha-la-la-la...)
