And if I ever had to choose

Verse 1

When last I walked with all my troubles gone

Hearken how they sing along to the song to move 'em on

But now the birds have flown from the trees

From my window I can see only dead leaves on the ground

And my soul has grown so weary

It's been a long, hard year

Chorus

And if I ever had to choose

Between loving and losing

Would that I never knew

I'd rather have never seen your face

Kissed each inch of your beautiful waist

Fingered through every strand of your hair

Never known you were there

Verse 2

Now that I'm down here on bended knee

Please understand just what this means to me, why I weep

And though you look so pretty in your gown

You can't see what's hanging 'round you, I'm drowning here below

And my heart, it beats so heavy

It tears me apart

Chorus

And if I ever had to choose

Between loving and losing

Would that I never knew

I'd rather have never seen your face

Kissed each inch of your beautiful waist

Fingered through every strand of your hair

Never known you were there

Bridge

And if I were a stronger man

Maybe I'd see this through

A man would understand

This is the last thing I can do

Chorus

And if I ever had to choose

Between loving and losing

Would that I never knew

I'd rather have never seen your face

Kissed each inch of your beautiful waist

Fingered through every strand of your hair

Never known you were there

And if I ever had to choose

Between loving and losing

Would that I never knew

I'd rather have never seen your face

Kissed each inch of your beautiful waist

Fingered through every strand of your hair

Never known you were there

Outro

Never known you were there

Never known you were there

Never known you were there
