What if you leave me The faithful moon will keep on rising Stars will shimmer birds will fly The nights will fall and years will slide Across me When you leave me I'll still wake up I'll still grow old And close the door against the cold The same red plastic cups will hold My coffee The world will still go on The world won't know you're gone What if you leave me The setting sun will still be casting Emerald highlights on the grass The ordinary days will pass Without you When you leave me Across the sea the Chinese rain Will drop on thirsty fields and plains And no one there will dream in vain About you The world will still go on. The world won't know you're gone What if you leave me These bolts will hold this chair in place This soft and silky pillow case Will yield the imprint of your face Eventually When you leave me The spring will turn the gardens green I'll find the time to mend the screens And no one else will see these dreams You lent me The world will not recall The world won't care at all
