If is the middle word in life
And life is but an ever open door
I’ve no more doubts about the past
Cos I don’t even live there anymore

If is the middle word in life
And if is a choice for us to choose
If and only if – you love the one you’re with
You’ve always more to win and more to lose

I see no bridge between us
Your love is burnished gold
There’s an if in the gift of love
Hard to find and hard to hold

If is the middle word in life
And life is a suitcase full of hope
Too much time playing to the crowd
Not enough spent with you at home

If is the middle word in life
And if is linked to where and when
But you can’t know where you are going to
If you don’t know where you’re from and where you’ve been

I see no bridge between us
Your love is burnished gold
There’s an if in the gift of love
Hard to find and hard to hold
