Lyrics

If the birds of Summer
Were to fly away
And if the same birds of Summer
Found another place to stay
I would still love you
In the same old way

If the leaves of Fall
Refused to fall
And if the same leaves of Fall
Never appeared at all
Would you still love me?

In the darkness
Would you call

Chorus
I don't need no miracles
If I have you
I don't need no miracles
If I have you,you,you,you

Bridge:
I don't mind if I don't find
Another passion that's true
My heart is small
Another love would stall
There is no space, there's only room for you

Verse

If the snows of Winter
Refused to clear
And if the same snows of Winter
Stayed with us all year
I would still love you
You'd never shed a tear

Chorus
If the flowers of Spring
Refused to bloom
And if the same flowers of Spring
Never lifted the gloom
Would you pick me out the crowd

Chorus

Bridge

If the birds of summer
Refused to sing
And if the same birds of summer
Praised silence as their king
Would you still love me?
Would I lose everything?
