(Jimmy Rankin)
If only you would love me
Bells would ring
And voices silent for a thousand years
Suddenly could sing
And the heart of a bandit
Would surely vanish without a clue
Then the world would go on turning
My darling, if only you
If only you would notice
The grass would grow again
And all the leaves that have fallen
Would blow away in the wind
And the sun would shine forever
All the flowers would blossom and bloom
And then I could face the morning
My darling, if only you
If the war we've been living
Would cease to be, let us live again
If the chains that have held us
Would break away and set us free
Then my heart like an eagle
Would fly away into the blue
Close the book, quietly disappear
My darling, if only you
Bells
