On the train ride to Paris
|
Or from sunny Barcelona
|
We rose up through the mountains
|
As the sun started setting
|
|
And the sea came out below us
|
As we rode through a village
|
We passed ten feet from a little porch
|
Where a man was serving dinner
|
|
And our window was open
|
And we could hear them laughing
|
|
I'm never gonna give you up
|
What do you got if you ain't got love?
|
If you ain't got love
|
What do you got if you ain't got love?
|
|
At nine in the morning
|
After nine months of waiting
|
You were born and I saw your face
|
And you looked up at me
|
|
But before I could hold you
|
The doctors raced you from me
|
They told me that you might not live
|
Your heart was not healthy
|
|
And with wires coming from you
|
I sat beside you
|
|
I'm never gonna give you up
|
What do you got if you ain't got love?
|
If you ain't got love
|
What do you got if you ain't got love?
|
|
Someday, someday soon
|
You and I will both be gone
|
And lately, I can't help but think
|
That the love we feel will live on
|
|
At a little wooden cabin
|
Up in northern Minnesota
|
We ran together down to the dock
|
And you jumped right off it
|
|
And from out in the water
|
You called me to join you
|
And I said, "Baby, I cannot swim
|
If I jump, I'll surely drown you"
|
|
You said, "Life has no limit
|
If you're not afraid to get in it"
|
And oh, baby, I jumped to you
|
Since then there's nothing I can't do
|
|
I'm never gonna give you up
|
What do you got if you ain't got love?
|
If you ain't got love
|
What do you got if you ain't got love?
|
|
Someday, someday soon
|
You and I will both be gone
|
But lately, I can't help but think
|
That the love we feel will live on
|
