Analysis of If I loved you more
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
If I loved you more
The angels might stop calling
If I loved you more
Heaven might start falling
If I loved you more
The birds might stop singing
If I loved you more
If I loved you more
The earth might start shaking
If I loved you more
The lord might start crying
If I loved you more
Our hearts might stop trying
If I loved you more
If I loved you more
The sun might stop shining
If I loved you more
Life might start hiding
If I loved you more
The oceans might start drying
If I loved you more
If I loved you more
The stars might stop turning
If I loved you more
The Gods might stop writing
If I loved you more
The clouds might start lightening
If I loved you more
If I loved you more
A touch might stop feeling
If I loved you more
Fate might stop yearning
If I loved you more
Thought might stop swirling
If I loved you more
