What If ?

What if tomorrow the sun suddenly stopped to burn All the birds had flown away because they had forgotten their song There were no more days only nights And the world had stopped to turn The ocean waves didn't roll or roar anymore And kiss the shore The mountains crumbled And the stars fell like diamonds from the sky Would you be there for me And lay down by my side If the sky never cried And nothing grew the flowers no longer bloomed Everyone else had gone except you and I Is your love deep enough? I'd like to know because when things get tough Like they often do And we feel like giving up And the world becomes just like a big empty room Money and riches are just paper that has no value no more Our green land is a desert full of sand And when life opened a door for us We sometimes let the opportunities, Slip like gold dust through the fingers of our hands The home we built could become just an empty shack That once would have been full of love so cosy and warm Before there was a storm On the other side of the railway tracks Rusting trains at a standstill And can no longer go forward or back Pretty young beauty queens All gone and be only seen On the covers of glossy magazines If there was no hope left Wishful dreams never came true As they did,for me and you And you can no longer keep warm When the earth grows cold Have nowhere else to go And there are no hands left to hold Would you give me your hand holding on forever Sometimes we forget what's wrong from right But there's so much love and honesty It has to be right When you're lying next to me at night It's so hard to live with no one by your side No one to care for or care for you You can't remember how many tears you've cried And the icy treacherous road ahead Makes you slip and slide You can run all you want But you can't find a place in which to hide It's so hard to do Especially when you're down And feeling blue As life and bad luck often do.
