If I Ever Love Again

Ooh, oh

How many times can I die?

How many times can I break inside?

How many times can I pray, oh, Lord to take this pain away?

He was the song in my soul, but now that song will never play

Instead a silence now falls over me

How many tears have I felt? (I felt)

Before I learn to forgive myself (forgive myself)

How many trials can I face before I start to lose my faith?

How many hearts have to mend before the poet runs again

'Cause the feeling of you covers me

If I ever love again (oh-oh), it would be with you again

'Cause there's nothing that I can do (no)

To baby, keep me away from you

If I ever love again, it would be with you again

('Cause my life), 'cause my life is not complete, baby, until you're here with me

How many times did I try (ooh), to hold you near when you say goodbye? (Goodbye)

How many times did you turn before you knew who I really was?

You were the fire in my days, but now the flame has burned away

And only the shades from that past call on me

If I ever love again, it would be with you again (oh, yeah)

'Cause there's nothing I can do (nothing, nothing)

To baby, keep me away from you

If I ever love again, it would be with you again

'Cause my life is not complete, baby, 'til you're here with me

(If I) If I ever love again

Oh-oh, oh-oh

He was the song in my soul, but now that song will never play

Instead a silence now falls over me

If I ever love again it would be with you again (ooh-ooh)

'Cause there's nothing that I can do (nothing, nothing)

To baby, keep me away from you (keep me away)

(If I ever love again)

I can't help myself, I want you and no one else (no one else)

And, baby, it's the way I fell over you (baby, 'til you're here with me)

I can't help myself (help myself), I want you and no else (no one else)

And, baby, it's the way I fell over you (baby 'til you're here with me)
