"If I Ever Had To Say Goodbye To You" lyrics

If I ever had to say goodbye to you
Let the world come to an end
It wouldn't matter to me then
I wouldn't want to live with just your memory
Deep inside myself I never would be free
This life would hold no happiness for me

I could never say hello to someone new
If I looked into his eyes
I'd be ashamed and I'd despise myself
For trying to recapture what was gone
Just an imitation dream to wish upon
I'd only hurt him, and that kind of love is wrong

If I ever had to say goodbye to you
I can't imagine where I'd go or what I'd do
There is no way I could face the world alone
I'd be a puppy dog lost and scared without a home

So, please, stay with me until our time is through
Let me look into your heart
Know that we could never part
And I'll always try to make you happy too
When the tears I'd shed are for a love that's true

You make me laugh, you make me cry
You make me want to live or die
God, If I ever have to say goodbye to you
