If the hour, if came the day, If came the year when you went away How could I live, I'd surely die What would life be you said 'goodbye' ? How would I laugh, how could I love, Could I believe in a God above? How would I hope, how could I pray, If came the hour, if came the day? But you are lying beside me, I watch you breathe, each rise and fall, Without you near there would be, Nothing at If, in this world, all things must pass, And we must raise the parting glass, No words would ever come what could I If came the hour, if came the day? There'd be no music my soul, How could I dance - not you to hold? How could I hear the violin? There'd be no song I could ever sing. But you are lying beside me, I watch you breathe, each rise and fall, Without you near there would be, Nothing at all. Now you awake, the dawn in, I touch your mouth, I touch your skin, How would I live, if you should go away, If came the hour, if came day? How would I live, if you should go away, came the hour, if came the day... If came the hour, if came the day?
