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
