PART III 

If you had lived to meet me,

Would you have greeted me?

If you had lived to meet me,

How would you have greeted me?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would you have sung to me?

If you had lived to meet me,

What songs would you have sung?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would you have read me books?

If you had lived to meet me,

What books would you have read?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would you have played with me?

If you had lived to meet me,

What games would we have played?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would you have taught me lessons?

If you had lived to meet me,

What lessons would you have taught?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would you have helped me dream?

If you had lived to meet me,

What dreams would we have built?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would you have danced with me?

If you had lived to meet me,

What dances would those have been?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would we have taken trips?

If you had lived to meet me,

Where would you have taken me?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would you have laughed with me?

If you had lived to meet me,

What laughs would we have had?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would you have wiped my tears?

If you had lived to meet me,

Would I still weep so much?

  It doesn’t matter, Love…

 We did not have that chance…

 You had to live without me…

You have to find your peace…
