Forgive the horrible sound quality, but here's Renata Tebaldi singing it from the heart. The audience reaction is priceless. This is the voice that ignited my passion for opera, and all that has happened since is a result.
If I Loved You - Renata Tebaldi Lewisohn Stadium 1966
"If I loved you,
Time and again I would try to say
All I want you to know.
If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go...
Longing to tell you,
But afraid and shy,
I'd let my golden chances pass me by...
Soon you'd leave me,
Off you would go in the mist of day,
Never, never to know how I loved you...
If I loved you."
