If I Could Be With You One Hour Tonight

(album: Dinah Sings Bessie Smith - 1958)

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 loved 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, ooh
If I could be with you

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 loved 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 one hour
If I... if I could be with you
