If I Must Go

If I Must Go

If I must go and you remain,
I hope you don't suffer too much pain
from my leaving.

If you go first and I must stay,
I know I'll feel it shorn away
that part of my heart.

When we met some years ago
I couldn't guess, didn't know
how much I'd love you.

Through silent tears I still can see
Your sparkling eyes wink at me.
It's been worth it all.

I can't be sorry, won't regret
The day we smiled, the day we met.
My God, I thank you.

What a friend you are, sweet love.
