Lyrics

If I Ever Get To Hold You

If I ever get to hold you
I won't ever let you go
If I ever get to hold you
I won't ever let you go
I won't ever let you go

If I ever get to know you
I won't ever break your heart
If I ever get to know you
I won't ever break your heart
I won't ever break your heart

But it's a mean old world
That we are living in
You can't be sure of anything
But it's a mean old world
That we are living in
You can't be sure of anything

And if I ever love another
It won't ever be the same
And if I ever love another
It won't ever be the same
It won't ever be the same

And I would give her all of my love
I've got nothing left to lose
And I would give her all of my love
I've got nothing left to lose
I've got nothing left to lose

But it's a mean old world...

You can't trust the stars when they might fall
And if you can't trust yourself you can't trust anyone at all
You can't trust the moon when it might wane
Can't trust a cloud when it turns to rain
Can't trust the night with its black heart beating
Or silence when it's just nothing repeating
You can't trust a friend who never cries
But you can't trust tears in a stranger's eyes
You can't trust time to make it all right
And you can't trust the road that's out of sight
But there's some thing's that just might be true
You can trust my love for you
And you can trust we'll never part
You can trust my heart, you can trust my heart
You can trust my heart, you can trust my heart
