Billy
Ain't you scared of me? I mean, after what that cop said about me
takin' money from girls?

Julie
I ain't scared!

Billy
Is that your name Julie, Julie, hmm hmm, somethin'?

Julie
Julie Jordon-

Billy
You're a queer one, Julie Jordan,
Ain't you sorry that you didn't run away?
You can still go if you wanna,

Julie
I reckon that I care to choose to stay!
You couldn't take my money if I didn't have any
And I don't have a penny, that's true.
And if I did have money,
You couldn't take any
'Cause you'd ask an' I'd give it to you!

Billy
You're a queer one, Julie Jordan,
Have you ever had a fella you give money to?

Julie
No!

Billy
Ain't you ever had a fella at all?

Julie
No!

Billy
Well, you must have a fella you went walkin' with

Julie
Yes!

Billy
Where'd you walk?

Julie
Nowhere special I recall-

Billy
In the woods?

Julie
No!

Billy
On a beach?

Julie
No!

Billy
Did you love him-

Julie
No, I've never told you anyone, I told you that.

Billy
Aha! You're-Your're a funny kid!
Hey, you wanna go to town dance maybe or...

Julie
No! I have to be careful!

Billy
Of what!

Julie
Of my character... You see, I'm never gonna marry.

I'm never gonna marry if I was gonna marry,
I wouldn't have to be such a stickler.
But I'm never gonna marry,
And a girl who don't marry
Has got to be much more partic'lar

[They Laugh]

Billy
Ah ah ah-
Hey s'ppose- s'ppose I was to say that I would marry you, hmm?

Julie
You!?!

Billy
Oh, that scared you, hmm?
Then you are thinkin' 'bout what the cop said!

Julie
No, I ain't, I never paid no mind of what he said!

Billy
But you wouldn't marry a smear like me, would you?

Julie
Yes, I would!
If I loved you... It wouldn't make no difference what you'd-
Even if I died for it.

Billy
Well, how you know what you'd do if you loved me?
How you'd feel or anythin'?

Julie
I don't know how I know. Just the same I know how it'd be...
If I loved you.
When I work in the mill weaving at the loom
I gaze absent-minded at the roof
And half the time the shuttle get tangled in the threads
And the warp get mixed with the woof
If I loved you...

Billy
But you don't!

Julie
No, I don't!

Julie
But somehow I can see
Just exactly how I'd be-

If I loved you,
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know.
If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' 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.

Billy
Well, anyway, you mean you don't love me.
That's what you said, isn't it?

Julie
Yes!
I can smell 'em, can you, ah?
The blossoms. The wind brings 'em down!

Billy
There ain't much wind tonight... Hardly any.
You can't hear a sound, not the turn of a leaf
Nor the fall of a wave hittin' the sand.
The tide's creepin' up on the beach like a thief,
Afraid to be caught stealin' the land!
On a night like this I start to wonder
What life is all about.

Julie
And I always say two heads are better than one to
figure it out.

Billy
[spoken]
I don't need you, I don't need anybody helpin' me.
Well, I got it figured out for myself.
We're not important. What are we?
A couple o' specks with nothin'
Look up there...

[sung]
There's a hell of a lotta stars in the sky,
And the sky's so big the sea looks small,
And two little people, you and I
We don't count at all.

[spoken]
You're a funny kid, you know?
I don't remember meetin' a girl like you.
Hey, you're tryin' to get me to marry you?

Julie
No!

Billy
Then what's puttin' into my head, babe?
You're diff'rent, alright! I know what it is...
You have doped me with that little kid's face, right?
You've adjusted me!
I wonder what it'd be like...

Julie
What?

Billy
Nothin'.
No, I know what it'd be like.
It'd be awful! I can just see myself-

Kinda scrawny, and pale
Picking at my food,
And love-sick like any other guy.
I'd throw away my sweater, and dress up like a dude
In a dicky and a collar and a tie.
If I loved you.

Julie
[spoken]
But you don't!

Billy
No, I don't!
[sung]
But somehow I can see
Just exactly how I'd be
If I loved you,
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know.
If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' 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.

[spoken]
Aha...I'm not the kinda fella to marry anybody!
No, even if a girl was foolish enough to want me to,
I wouldn't!

Julie
Don't worry about it, Billy!

Billy
Who's worried?

Julie
You were right about there bein' no wind.
The blossoms are comin' down by theirselves.
Just they're in time to, I reckon.
