Lyrics
If This Is
[2024/05/09]
[Verse]
Blessed.
Blessed from the first day we met.
Neither, friend or foe?
We danced.
Danced, we took a chance.
So many years ago.
[Verse]
Ups. Downs,
big smiles, some frowns.
Life took us where we belonged.
You. Me.
We could easily see
our love would keep us strong.
[Chorus]
And if this is all there is. I am certain.
That if this is all there is. Let it be.
I don't care what's behind all the curtains.
There's nothing that I need to see.
[Verse]
I blinked once,
blinked twice.
I swear I just closed my eyes.
Once there, now here.
There is love
no word of a lie.
[Chorus]
And if this is all there is. I am certain.
That if this is all there is. Let it be.
I don't care what's behind all the curtains.
There's nothing that I need to see.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
And if this is all there is. I am certain.
That if this is all there is. Let it be.
I don't care what's behind all the curtains.
There's nothing that I need to see.
[Bridge]
Kids when we met,
old hound dogs now.
Against the odds, we made it somehow.
[Verse]
Blessed. Blessed
from the first day we met.
Neither friend nor foe.
We danced. Danced,
we took a chance.
So many years ago.
[Chorus]
And if this is all there is. I am certain.
That if this is all there is. Let it be.
I don't care what's behind all the curtains.
There's nothing that I need to see.
