if i ever make you cry

if i ever make you cry

all through my life may my eyes never smile again

if i ever make you cry

all through my life may my lips never laugh again

and if you should find that i have been untrue

may i never spend a happy day

and may i never hear somebody say

a tender word like

i love you

a tender voice like

i need you

i make a vow

right here and now

that i will live to love you

if i ever make you cry

long as i live

may the world turn away from me

if i ever make you cry

even once

long as i live

may my dreams never come to be

and if i should ever

ever break your heart

may i never see the sun appear

and may i go through life and never hear

a tender voice say

i love you

your precious voice say

i need you

come to my arms

my waiting arms

and softly say

you love me
