Verse 1: I need your love in every way Your love I cling to when things slip away. Without your love I’ll be lost and alone. No reason for living all purpose would be gone. Without you there for my eyes to behold My life would be empty my heart would grow cold. Chorus: If you take  your love from me I’ll turn to stone turn to stone. If your love  I couldn’t call my own I’ll turn to stone turn to stone. Verse 2: When I think of love I think of me and you. When I think of happiness I think of us too. You’re my yesterdays and all my tomorrows The air I breathe. Everything I need. If from my life you were ever gone I’d fall to pieces. You I depend on. Chorus: If you take  your love from me I’ll turn to stone turn to stone. If your love  I couldn’t call my own I’ll turn to stone turn to stone. Verse 3: Darling without you I’ll go on searching With a lonely heart that won’t stop hurting. Sorrow would be written on my face All my tears would leave its trace. I would be like a statue in a park Cold and alone a man without a heart. Chorus: If you take  your love from me I’ll turn to stone turn to stone. If your love  I couldn’t call my own I’ll turn to stone turn to stone. Fade: Turn to stone turn to stone Just turn to stone I’ll turn to stone. If your love  I couldn’t call my own. I’ll turn to stone just turn to stone I’ll turn to stone turn to stone... String muting while strumming also does nicely God bless!

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson exprime une profonde dépendance envers l'amour d'une autre personne. L'artiste évoque son besoin vital de l'affection de son partenaire, sans laquelle il se sentirait perdu et figé dans la solitude. Il décrit à quel point l'absence de cette connexion pourrait le transformer en une personne sans émotions, comparant son état à celui d'une statue, froide et inanimée. Le contexte de la chanson reflète souvent des sentiments universels d'amour et de vulnérabilité. Il décrit les craintes de perdre cet amour et les conséquences émotionnelles dévastatrices qui en découleraient. Ces sentiments sont intemporels, touchant chacun d'entre nous à un moment ou un autre de notre vie, rappelant à quel point l'amour peut être à la fois un refuge et une source de tension.
