(Jon Anderson)

If it wasn't for love
The moon would disappear
The seas would crash into the land
The sun would not appear
The tears would dry up in the sand

If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
The children of the sun
They would all but melt away
Believe me, that would be
An unncessary day-oh, my
If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
I'd still be all alone
And completely in the dark
No friends would help me through the night
No singing in the park-oh, my
If it wasn't for love

All we need is the truth in our hand
Someone to call a friend
Never fear the darkness
All we need is just the sun in the sky
And the hope of a summer to come
With the meaning of love


If it wasn't for love
Well, how do you expect
A woman or a man
They'd dry up all inside
As if life has never begun

If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
The world would disappear
And we would fly off to the sky
The hatred and the sorrow would be
Showing in our eyes-oh, y
If it wasn't for love

When the moment of truth comes alive
How we'll rejoice and sing the blues away
There's no telling just how we will feel
So important is that very day

We'll imagine a change in our heart
Sometimes it's hard to explain the truth
But we'll see and will know
There's no doubt about it
The meaning of love

If it wasn't for love
The moon would disappear
The seas would crash into the land
The sun would not appear
And tears would dry up in the sand

If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
The children of the sun
They would all but melt away
Believe me, that would be
An unnecessary day-oh, my
If it wasn't for love

Oh, my-if it wasn't for love
Oh, my-if it wasn't for love
Oh, my-if it wasn't for love
Oh, my-if it wasn't for love
Oh, my-if it wasn't for love
Oh, my-if it wasn't for love
