| | | | | 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 breathe each rise and fall    Without you near then there would be Nothing at all               If in this world 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  |    |  |  |  |  |       |  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?
