If Came The Hour

If Came the Hour -Petra Berger

If came the hour if came the day

If came the year when you went away

How could I live I'd surely die

What would I be if you say goodbye

How would I laugh how could I love

Could I believe in a God above

How would I hope how could I pray

If came the hour if came the day

But you are here lying beside me

I watch you breath each raise and fall

Without you near then there would be

Nothing at all

If in this world all things must pass

And we must raise the parting glass

No words would ever come what could I say

If came the hour if came the day

There'd be no music in my soul

How could I ever dance now you to hold

How could I ever hear the violin

There'd be no song I could ever sing

But you are here lying beside me

I watch you as you breath each raise and fall

Without you near then there would be

Nothing at all

Now you awake the dawns sweeps in

I touch your mouth I touch your skin

How would I ever live if you should go away

If came the hour if came the day
