If I Didn’t Love You

Would the sun come up tomorrow
Would the river flow to the sea
Would the birds sing and words rhyme
If you didn’t love me
If you didn’t love me
Would the sky be up and earth down
Would the clouds float in a field of blue
Would the flowers grow in fields of green
If I didn’t love you
If I didn’t love you
Would flickering candle light excite the night
Would words on paper come alive, like they do
Would thoughts of the day fill the night
If I didn’t love you
If I didn’t love you
Of course they would, but what would be the use
Of sun and sea, birds and rhymes, earth and sky,
Or blue and green, If you didn’t love me
If I didn’t love you
