If I Should Lose You - 1935 - Rose of The Rancho

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 17 Sept 2001

[He] Why should we lose for ever
this sacred thing that Heaven gave us,
this sacred trust.
Why rob the world of all its beauty
why change a dream to dust
my heart is yours but ask your own
if you should leave me.
[She] Leave you? Never dear.

[He] If I should leave you
the stars would fall from the sky
If I should lose you
the leaves would wither and die
the birds in Maytime
would sing a mournful refrain
and I would wander around
hating the sound of rain.
With you beside me
the rose would bloom in the snow
with you beside me
no winds of winter would blow
I gave you my love
and I was living a dream,
but living would seem in vain
If I lost you.

If I should leave you
the stars would fall from the sky
If I should lose you
the leaves would wither and die
the birds in Maytime
would sing a mournful refrain
and I would wander around
hating the sound of rain.
With you beside me
the rose would bloom in the snow
with you beside me
no winds of winter would blow
I gave you my love
and I was living a dream,
but living would seem in vain
If I lost you.
