If You Love Me
Van Morrison · Other Songs - Van Morrison
You will give your heart
Why should we be apart
If you love me
If you love me
Baby you will know the truth
I wasn't born to lose
And I love you
Affinity and communication
That makes reality
Understandering is the first thing
It means so much to me
If I love you
I will find the key
If it's meant to be
Because, 'cause I love you [ alright ]
[ B.B. solo ]
Affinity and communication
That makes, that makes, that makes reality
Understanding is the first thing
That means so very much to me
If I love you, baby
I will find the key
And, if it's meant to be - yes it is
And I love you - yes I do
[ Van harp ]
And I love you baby
And I promise I do
If You Love Me
