If I had counted one two three before I made you cry

If I had counted four and five and made another try

If we had counted six seven eight and made a brand new start

If we had counted nine and ten we wouldn't be apart

One two three come back to me and let bygones go by

Four and five I know that I've been a foolish guy

Six seven eight give me a date and I'll be as good as pie

Nine and ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye

[ steel - guitar ]

If I had counted one two three before I walked away

If I had counted four and five well I'd whispered darling stay

If we had counted six seven eight and turned on all our charms

If we had counted nine and ten we'd be in each other's arms

One two three come back to me...

One to ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye
