If I Should Lose You

Nina Simone

If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the sky
If I should lose you
The leaves would wither and die

The birds in maytime 
Would sing a lonely refrain
And I would wander around 
Hating the sound of rain

With you beside me
No wind in winter would blow
With you beside me
A rose would bloom in the snow

I gave you my love
But I was living a dream
And living would seem in vain 
If I lost you
