If

James Michael Taylor

IF

If your heart must be broken
let it be by beauty
If in tears you be soakin’
let it be by music
If your silence must be ended
let it be by laughter
If your love must say good-bye
let it be in death

If your pockets must be empty
let it be by giving
If your body be exhausted
let it be by living
If your breath be worth the breathing
let it be by singing
If your love must say good-bye
let it be in death

If your life has come to nothing
losing all your bets
Don’t you let me hear you cursing
Live without regrets…

If my heart must be broken
let it be by beauty
If by tears I be soakin’
let it be by music
If my silence must be ended
let it be by laughter
If my love must say good-bye
let it be in death

If my pockets must be empty
let it be by giving
If my body be exhausted
let it be by living
If my breath be worth the breathing
let it be by singing
If my love must say good-bye
let it be in death
