lyrics

If I Didn't Love You So

When you were here, the world was in tune
Life was a warm embrace
Now you are gone, the melody's ended
It's an empty dream I'm chasing

Sweet babies would laugh, songbirds would sing
Moonlight delight me, church bells would ring
Willows would dance while soft breezes blow
If I didn't love you so

Jasmine in bloom would perfume the air
I'd read curled up in my favorite chair
Autumn's bright leaves would put on a show
If I didn't love you so

(Now the world's all in grey
Beethoven's not sublime
Dew won't sparkle at dawn
Poets forgot how to rhyme)

Sunsets would paint the evening sky red
Peaches 'n cream, then sweet dreams in bed
Life would be lovely, tied with a bow!
If I didn't love you so.
