If You Ain't Got Love

On the train ride to Paris

Or from sunny Barcelona

We rose up through the mountains

As the sun started setting

And the sea came out below us

As we rode through a village

We passed ten feet from a little porch

Where a man was serving dinner

And our window was open

And we could hear them laughing

I'm never gonna give you up

What do you got if you ain't got love?

If you ain't got love

What do you got if you ain't got love?

At nine in the morning

After nine months of waiting

You were born and I saw your face

And you looked up at me

But before I could hold you

The doctors raced you from me

They told me that you might not live

Your heart was not healthy

And with wires coming from you

I sat beside you

I'm never gonna give you up

What do you got if you ain't got love?

If you ain't got love

What do you got if you ain't got love?

Someday, someday soon

You and I will both be gone

And lately, I can't help but think

That the love we feel will live on

At a little wooden cabin

Up in northern Minnesota

We ran together down to the dock

And you jumped right off it

And from out in the water

You called me to join you

And I said, "Baby, I cannot swim

If I jump, I'll surely drown you"

You said, "Life has no limit

If you're not afraid to get in it"

And oh, baby, I jumped to you

Since then there's nothing I can't do

I'm never gonna give you up

What do you got if you ain't got love?

If you ain't got love

What do you got if you ain't got love?

Someday, someday soon

You and I will both be gone

But lately, I can't help but think

That the love we feel will live on
