Lyrics

If I Never Get To Love You

If I never get to love you

It won't be that I didn't try

I'll be trying to possess you

Till the day I die

If I never get to love you

It won't be that I ran away

For as long as you will have me

Close to you, I'll stay

What I wouldn't give to hold you tight

Never, never let you out of sight

Be the one you give your first kiss every morning

The last one you kiss goodnight

If I never get to love you

It won't be that I didn't care

There is nothing that I want more

Or I need more

And my heart would surely break in two

If I never get to love you

What I wouldn't give to hold you tight

Never, never let you out of sight

Be the one you give your first kiss every morning

The last one you kiss goodnight

If I never get to love you

It won't be that I didn't care

There is nothing that I want more

Or I need more

And my heart could surely break in two

If I never get to love you
