If Love Should Die

If love should die before I wake

I pray, don't let me sleep

The promises made, I cannot break

I fully intend to keep

I promised my love 'til the day I die

And death has yet to call

I would never let love pass us by

I will not let love fall

For without love what use is life,

If promises can be broken?

How can a man then take a wife,

If no vows of love are spoken?

If it be a dream then shake me well

Until my eyes are wide

For I could find no love in hell

And I could not find my bride

If love should die before I wake

I pray, don't let me sleep

The promises made, I cannot break

I fully intend to keep
