Ivor Novello
If I Ever Lost You
(Verse 1)
[ROSE]
I have known you long and yet
It's plain that this was meant to be
For something told me when we met
That you were my affinity
I cannot tell you all you mean to me

(Chorus 1)
Think how sad the flowers would be
If sunshine went away
Think how sad the bees would feel
Without a summer day
Think how a couple of lovers would swoon
If they walked out one night and found no moon
Then you'll understand I hope that you do
How I'd feel if I ever lost you

(Verse 2)
[MARQUIS]
You have inflicted on my heart
A wound that time can never heal
You wokе in me right from the start
Emotions I cannot conceal
Just lеt me sketch for you the way I feel:
(Chorus 2)
Think how sad a carrot would be
If no boiled beef was near
Think how sad an egg would feel
If ham should disappear
Think how a sausage's hope would be dashed
If one day it awoke and missed its mashed
And what grief a steak would feel if it found
That there wasn't an onion around
