If I

If I couldn't have you, there would be nothing to want
Nothing to aim for, no shining stars
If I couldn't have you, there would be no true love
No love to cherish, no love to want

If I didn't know you and I didn't know pain
I would not know anything worth living again
If I didn't know you and I didn't fight the fight
I would not know the difference between alright and right

If I hadn't met you, memorized your face, memorized your hands
What else could I strive for, life would be so bland
If I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
Of missing you and waiting to see you again

But if I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
That ends when I see your face again
Ends when your touch embraces me again
The pain that ends when you promise my heart is in good hands...
