If
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 I should live a thousand years
I would spend my whole life dying for you
If I should shed a thousand tears
I would spend my whole life crying for you
As certain as eternity is written in the stars
It reaches through the universe, from Jupiter to Mars
It stretches to infinity, beyond the edge of space
Where time itself is measured in the smile upon your face
If I should live a thousand years
I would spend my whole life loving you
If I should pick a thousand flowers
I would touch each petal for a trace of you
For every thousand April showers
I would chase the rainbow for a place with you
As certain as eternity...
If I should bless a thousand brides
I would never find one as sweet as you
For every thousand high spring tides
There could never be one to compete with you
As certain as eternity...
