WHAT IF
Nothing will stop me from loving you the way that I do
Nothing except for your words telling me we're through.
The jealousy - the "Don't trust me.... is what is hurting us now.
If we're gonna make it, we have to work this out somehow.
The thought of you, thought of me -- with someone else, but not each other,
People from our pasts & lack of trust, keep us from loving one another.
Thoughts of you leaving me or "what if" I leave you?
It's all the "what if's" that's tearing us into.
I don't want to have to worry "what if" and you shouldn't either--
-- "What if" that's what breaks us up? My fault, yours, or neither?
Neither one of us want things to end this way--We can't keep second guessing
We should just thank God for the love we have and count it as a blessing....
Take a look at history -- Every ending to love is a mystery
There's worry, jealousy, but there's trust with understanding,
Patience, and honesty, -- It's all so demanding
Years of being together sharing hugs and tears, doubts, and fears...
The passion, desire, and kissing-- "what if" it all slipped away? Look at what we'd be missing.....
I don't ever wanna lose you. How can I make you understand?
We can walk together side by side, in love, hand in hand...
-- OR keep fighting till it's over - until one has had to much... Until we loose everything we ever had, until we're out of touch.
Please work with me Baby, we both must give & take
Give all we have but take enough time so we don't have that mistake
Jealousy -- comes easily... A name from the past, a photo, a song or special place
-- A reason it did not last....
Neither one of us can go back or change what happened down the line
So we have to get our behinds out of the past,-- and put our past behind!!
I love you with everything I have, - my looks, my smile, my walk
Every single breath I take, Every word I talk.....
Now we have to make a promise, a bond, a trust, a vow...
To always work our problems out, talk, listen, - together, no matter how.
If we can't do this together & we can't make our love any stronger
Then we can't make each other happy or keep trying any longer.
For now is just the beginning of what could be a wonderful thing
We can't wonder "what if" and worry about the heartache it could bring...
-- "What if " we don't wonder about tomorrow, next month, next week or next year...
-- "What if" we just hold on to each other.......maybe then "what if" ..... could disappear......
