Lyrics

If I did n’t (C6)care

more than words can say,

if I did n’t (D6)care,

would I feel this (D6)way?

if this is n’t (E7)love,

then may be I’m (Am)wrong;

but why do I (D7)lie a wake all night and dream (Dm7)all

(Fm6)day (G7)long?

If I did n’t (C6)care,

would it be the same?

Would my ev ’ry (D7)pray’r be gin and end with just your (D6)name?

And would I be (E7)sure that this is (Dm6)love be (E7)yond com (A9)pare?

Would all this be (D7)true,

if I did n’t (G7sus)care

(G7)for

(C)you?
