If I had to tell you our love couldn’t last,

If I had to say that our time was now past,

If I must speak words that would cut like a knife

I may as well tell you the meaning of life.

If I had to stop hearing love from your lips,

Or stop midnight magic from your fingertips,

If I had to stop thinking we were so right

I may as well stop day from turning to night.

If I couldn’t smile through my day to day care

From knowing you love me and all that we share,

If I thought our love would eventually die

I may as well pull down the moon from the sky.

If I let your face wear the shadow of fear,

If I let a shower of teardrops appear,

If I sat and watched and see sadness had won

I may as well go out and stare at the sun.

I’d try not to love you as much as I do,

Forgetting your smile and the softness of you,

Ignoring your pouting whenever it rains,

I may as well jump up and capture airplanes.
