If You Should Leave Me Now

(album: I'm Doing Fine - 1996)

I just wanna talk to you again,
Wanna get back to the place where I fit in.
Can't believe you're asking what I'd always thought you knew:
How my life would be without you.

If this world should ever stop spinning 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the sound;
That's how empty life would be if you should leave me now.

Sometimes it's hard to find the words,
And it's too late to take them back once you've been heard.
When I hear you cry it tears me up inside,
'Cause then I realize

If the world should ever stop spinning 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the sound;
That's how empty life would be if you should leave me now.

Too many times I should have told you,
But my pride kept getting in the way.
Just the thought of living life without you
Was just too much, was just too much for me to take.

If this world should ever stop spinning 'round,
If the stars should fall to pieces and tumble to the ground,
If a thousand children's voices sang but I never heard the sound;
That's how my life would be if you should leave me now.
If you should leave me now...
Aah.
