If I Ever Lost You

Jimmy Scott · Essential Jimmy Scott [2005]

How much my heart would ache

I know I can't explain

Nothing would be the same, it's true

What in this world would I do

If I ever lost you



How would I ever sleep

What good is counting sheep

When memories come creeping thru

I'd be continously blue

If I ever lost you



To me you are

The realm of desire

A dream that was fashion above

How could a fool, so humble as I

Would tell you

You're all that I love



Within my hungry heart

A million tears would start

And it would never spark anew

What in this world would I do

If I ever lost you
