Rachael Yamagata - We Could Still Be Happy

Copied!

If the rain no longer fell
And the flowers wasted to the ground
If the stars no longer shone
And the breeze died down

You and I, we could still be happy

If the writers lost their words
And the blue fell from the sky
And the dreamers lost their nerve
And the seas went dry

You and I, we could still be happy

If the world forgot to
Turn around again
And the winter never knew to
Change to spring
And the birds forgot to sing

We could still bе happy

If I lost my memory
And forgot my name
If the road that lеd back home
Could not be found again

If the fires burned out
And we could not stay warm
If the world forgot to
Turn around again
And the winter never knew to
Change to spring
And the birds forgot to sing

We could still be happy

The fallen rain may
Wash our home away
But we remain protected
Just the same
Always

We won't want for anything
If the world forgot to turn
Around again
And the winter never knew to
Change to spring
It wouldn’t mean a thing

We could still be happy

If the clock stopped telling time
If the money all ran out
We could still be happy
