lyrics

IF I LOST YOU

I’d get along if I lost you
I’d turn it into a decision of mine
no one else would be convinced of the story
but I would believe it in time

I’d carry on if I lost you
finally let my bad side prevail
I might discover a talent for larceny
without your goodness around to inspire me

and if I lost you
if I lost you
what would I do?

I’d find Lady Luck if I lost you
laugh in her face
declare her my enemy
vow to get even
though I’d have no reason to believe I’d find victory

and if I lost you
if I lost you

please let me have some modest dignity
if I have to face that day
or better yet
let it be comic
like Barney Fife explaining how a prisoner got away

I’d get along if I lost you
I’d learn to hold my face a certain way
open my eyes in youthful surprise
my mouth would need a perennial smile
chin up, drink up with boisterous friends
bring down my expectations again
tell myself you and I weren’t meant to be
swear to convince myself eventually

if I lost you
