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 life be
if you said '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 breathe,
each rise and fall,
Without you near
then there would be,
Nothing at all.
If ,in this would ,
all things must 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?
Music Rolf Lowland
lyrics by Brendan Graham
(Secret Garden's Violin Solo)
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 breathe,
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?
