if i never get to love you

Marianne Faithfull

If I never get to love you
It won't be that I didn't try.
I'll be trying to possess you
Till the day I die.

If I never get to love you
It won't be that I ran away.
For as long as you will have me
Close to you, I'll stay.

What I wouldn't give to hold you tight
Never, never let you out of sight
Be the one you give your first kiss every morning,
The last one you kiss goodnight.

If I never get to love you
It won't be that I didn't care.
There is nothing that I want more
Or I need more
And my heart would surely break in two,
If I never get to love you.

What I wouldn't give to hold you tight
Never, never let you out of sight
Be the one you give your first kiss every morning,
The last one you kiss goodnight.

If I never get to love you
It won't be that I didn't care.
There is nothing that I want more
Or I need more
And my heart could surely break in two,
If I never get to love you.
