lyrics

LYRICS
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 that 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, oh, sugar!
If I could be with you.

I saw Louis Armstrong on TV when I was 3 and have been hooked on 1920s-1930s jazz and swing ever since. I sing songs with some musician characters
