We could still be happy

If the rain no longer fell

And the flowers wasted to the ground

If the stars no longer shone

And the breeze died down

You and I

We could still be happy

If the writers lost their words

And the blue fell from the sky

And the dreamers lost their nerve

And the seas went dry

You and I

We could still be happy

If the world forgot to turn around again

And the winter never knew to change to spring

And the birds forgot to sing

We could still be happy

If I lost my memory

And forgot my name

If the road that led back home

Could not be found again

If the fires burned out

And we could not stay warm

We could still be happy

The fallen rain

May wash our home away

But we remain protected

Just the same

Always

We won't want for anything

If the world forgot to turn around again,

And the winter never knew to change to spring

It wouldn't mean a thing

We could still be happy

If the clock stopped telling time

If the money all ran out

We could still be happy
