"If I Loved You" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical ''Carousel''. The song was introduced by John Raitt as "Billy Bigelow" and Jan Clayton as "Julie". It was performed in the 1956 ''Carousel'' (film) version by Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones. In the show, the characters of Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan sing this song as they hesitantly declare their love for one another, yet are too shy to express their true feelings. The song was in turn inspired by lines of dialogue from Ferenc Molnár's original ''Liliom'', the source material for the musical. ==Recorded versions== There are many recordings of "If I Loved You" including by: *Ronnie Aldrich *Dinah Washington *Thomas Allen *Ernie Andrews *Julie Andrews (1994) - ''Broadway: The Music of Richard Rodgers''〔Julie Andrews - ''Broadway: The Music of Richard Rodgers'', Philips Records, D106250 (1994)〕 *Richard Anthony (1964)- Single ''If I loved you'', ''More than words can say ''Columbia / Pathé Marconi / EMI n° DB 7235 UK *Dave Apollon *Michael Ballam *Jimmy Beaumont *Isabel Bigley *Paul Bley *Alfie Boe *Sarah Brightman *Bob Brookmeyer *Ray Brown Trio *Artie Butler *José Carreras *Benny Carter *Carmen Cavallaro *Chad & Jeremy *Charlotte Church (2001) - ''Enchantment'' *Victoria Clark *Richard Clayderman *Jan Clayton and John Raitt (1945) for the Carousel Original Broadway Cast Recording〔''If I Loved You" - John Raitt and Jan Clayton with the ''Carousel'' Orchestra under the direction of Joseph Littau.
