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 the rain no longer fell
And the flowers
Wasted to the ground
If the stars no longer shone
And the breeze died down
You and I
We could still be happy
If the writers lost their words
And the blue fell from the sky
And the dreamers
Lost their nerve
And the seas went dry
You and I
We could still be happy
If the world forgot
To turn around again
And the winter never
Knew to change to spring
And the birds forgot to sing
We could still be happy
If I lost my memory
And forgot my name
If the road that led back home
Could not be found again
If the fires burned out
And we could not stay warm
If the world forgot
To turn around again
And the winter never
Knew to change to spring
And the birds forgot to sing
We could still be happy
The fallen rain may
Wash our home away
But we remain protected
Just the same
Always
We won’t want for anything
If the world forgot
To turn around again
And the winter never
Knew to change to spring
It wouldn’t mean a thing
We could still be happy
If the clock stopped telling time
If the money all ran out
We could still be happy
If the clock stopped telling time
If the money all ran out
We could still be happy
