If You Should Ever Leave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
if you ever should leave
why would I want to live
darling you must believe
won't you try to forgive
what a fool I would be
if I fooled with your love for me
I'd be wrong from the start
I'd be unfair to my heart
so whatever you do
don't you say that were through
I'd do nothing but grieve
if you ever should leave
(instrumental break)
oh, what a fool I would be
if I fooled with your love for me
I'd be wrong from the start
I'd be unfair to my heart
so whatever you do
don't you say that were through
I'd do nothing but grieve
if you ever should leave
I'd do nothing but grieve
if you ever should leave
