If came the hour, if came the day, If the year when you went away How could I live, I'd surely die What would life be if you said 'goodbye' ? How would I laugh, how could I love, Could I in a God above? How would I hope, how I pray, If came the hour, if came the day? But you are here, lying beside me, I watch you breathe, each rise and fall, Without you near there would be, Nothing at all. in this world, all things pass, And we must raise the parting glass, No words would ever come what could I say, If came the hour, if came the day? There'd be no music in my soul, 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 here, lying beside I watch you breathe, each rise fall, Without you near there would be, Nothing at all. Now you awake, the dawn sweeps in, I touch your mouth, I touch your skin, How would I if you should go away, If came the hour, if came the day? How would I live, if you should go away, If came the hour, if came the day... If the hour, if came the day?
