Lyrics

If I should (Am)lose you,

the stars would (Am)fall from the sky.

If I should (F)lose you,

the leaves would (F)with er and die.

The birds in (F)May (F#)time

would sing a (Cdim7)mourn ful re frain

and I would (Fm)wan der a (Am)round (D)hat ing the sound of (Dm)rain.

With you be (Am)side me

the rose would (Am)bloom in the snow;

with you be (F)side me

no winds of (F)win ter would blow.

I gave you (F)my (F#)love

and I was (Cdim7)liv ing a dream, but (E)liv ing would (Am)seem in (D7)vain if I

(G)lost (C)you.

If (E)I should (Am)lose you,
