If Love Were All

I believe in doing what I can

In crying when I must

In laughing when I choose


Oh, well, if love were all

I should be lonely



I believe that speaking as a man

The more you give your trust

The more you’re bound to lose

Although when shadows fall 
I think if only


Somebody splendid really needed me

Someone affectionate and dear

Cares would be ended if I knew that she

Wanted to have me near


But I believe that since my life began

The most I’ve had is just
a talent to amuse
Crazy if love were all

Baby when shadows fall
Maybe if love were all
