If I DIDN'T HAVE YOUR LOVE

  If the sun would lose its light

And we lived an endless night

And there was nothing left

That you could feel

That's how it would be

What the world would seem to me

If I didn't have your love

To make it real

If the stars were all unpinned

And a cold and bitter wind

Swallowed up the world

Without a trace

Well that's where I would be

What my life would seem to me

If I couldn't lift the veil

And see your face

If no leaves were on the tree

And no water in the sea

And the break of day

Had nothing to reveal

That's how broken I would be

What my life would seem to me

If I didn't have your love

To make it real

If the sun would lose its light

And we lived an endless night

And there was nothing left

That you could feel

If the sea were sand alone

And the flowers made of stone

And no one that you hurt

Could ever heal

That's how broken I would be

What my life would seem to me

If I didn't have your love

To make it real

Leonard Cohen, The Flame
