If (When You Go) - Beverley Craven, Judie Tzuke, Julia Fordham

I’ve been trying to find a way to say how I miss you when you leave

'Cause I need to get it clear, I’ll be ok, I just won’t breathe

If I could keep my arms tight and wrapped around you so you’d feel me there

In the light that shines through your window I’ll be everywhere

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs

If you can trust yourself when they may doubt you, I’ll still be here

I couldn’t love you more than in this moment, so you know

Take these words with you, when you go

A poem I read and loved as a child I am giving it to you

'Cause it says it so much better than I could ever do

Remember me in quiet times you’ll feel me there

I’m in the walls and shadows, I’ll be everywhere

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs

If you can trust yourself when they may doubt you, I’ll still be here

I couldn’t love you more than in this moment, so you know

Take these words with you, when you go

I’m in the walls and shadows, I’ll be everywhere

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs

I couldn’t love you more than in this moment, so you know

Take these words with you, when you go
