If I Ever Make You Cry

If I ever make you cry

All through my life may my eyes never smile again

If I ever make you cry

All through my life may my lips never laugh again



And if you should find that I have been untrue

May I never spend a happy day

And may I never hear somebody say



A tender word like, I love you

A tender voice like, I need you

I make a vow, right here and now

That I will live to love you



If I ever make you cry

Long as I live, may the world turn away from me

If I ever make you cry, even once

Long as I live, may my dreams never come to be



And if I should ever, ever break your heart

May I never see the sun appear

And may I go through life and never hear



A tender voice say, I love you

Your precious voice say, I need you

Come to my arms, my waiting arms

And softly say, you love me
