If came the hour, if came the day,
If came the year when you went away,
How could I live? I'd surely die!
What would I be, if you say 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 here, lying beside me.
I watch you breath, each rise and fall.
Without you near, then there would be
Nothing at all.
If in this world all things must pass,
And you 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.
How could I dance, no you to hold?
How could I hear the violin?
There'd be no song I could ever sing.
But you are here, lying beside me.
I watch you breath, each rise and fall.
Without you near, then there would be
Nothing at all.
Now you awake, the dawn sweeps in,
I touch your mouth, I touch your skin.
How would I live, 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 came the hour, if came the day...
