Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would I love you
If I thought that you'd love me too
Does a birdie fly
Ooh-ooh-ooh-aah

Would I want you
If I thought thay you'd want me too
Does a baby cry
Yeah-yeah-yeah

(Would I love you)
Each and every day
(Would I love you)
Darling, come what may
(Would I love you)
Ooh-ooh, I would and I do
With a love that is true

Oh, would I kiss you
If I thought that you'd come on and kiss me too
Does a river flow
'N just in case you'd like to know
Would I hold you
And never let you go for my whole life through
Does a fire glow

Oh, my Darlin', Darlin', Darlin'
(Would I love you)
Oh, you don't have to doubt it
(Would I love you)
There's no question about it
(Would I love you)
Darlin', Darlin', Darlin', I would and I do
With a love that is true

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Would I love you)
As long as I'm here, I will
(Would I love you)
For everything that I'm worth
(would I love you)
Just like a flower loves the rain




(Would I love you)
I try to never
