If Not For You Lyrics - 1971

[ Buy If Not For You ]

(manuel)

Once i walked through the halls of a station
Someone called your name
In the street i heard children laughing
They all sound the same

One day could you ever know me
Know the reason why i live
Is there nothin you can show me
Life seems so little to give

Once i climbed up the face of a mountain
And ate the wild fruit there
Fell asleep until the moonlight woke me
And i could taste your hair

Isn't everybody dreaming
And the voice i hear is real
Out of all the idle scheming
Can't we have something to feel

Once upon a time leaves me empty
Tomorrow never came
I could sing the sound of your laughter
Still i don't know you name

Must be some way to repay you
Out of all the good you gave
If a rumor should delay you
Love seems so little to save
