If my life can be given, so that you can see heaven,
neither my mind nor my heart quench for a second more,
If each spring, when it rains, and it can wash away your tears,
then let me quench your thirst and claim your fears,
If the mood of your mind can be set to heavenly chime,
then let my beating heart finish its last rhyme,
If the sense of truth can show you my love,
then let the world call me a liar tonight,
If the only hope in life I can give is for you to be well,
then I get up and proclaim, damn my health,
If having your dreams come true one by one,
then take my hope and dreams,
build a stairway for you to climb upon and reach your goals,
If losing you to another man, so that you can live better,
I hold back a lifetime of tears.
