IF YOU EVER LEAVE ME
(Richard Marx)

Barbra Streisand & Vince Gill - 1999


VINCE:
When I fall, you're my place to land
I lose my touch, you're my hands
The one I hold on to
If you run out of reasons to try
I'll love enough for both you and I
Be the one you can run to

BARBRA:
I'd rather go through any pain love puts us through
Than to spend one day without you by my side

BOTH:
If you ever leave me
Will you take me with you
If you're ever lonely
I wanna be lonely too
My home's beside you
No matter where you may go
My love's inside you
Even more than you know-woh-oh

BARBRA:
In a world of anger and lies
I find peace in your eyes
A flame in the darkness
BOTH:
Ooh,­ and through all space and time
Till every star refuses to shine
BARBRA:
You know where my heart is
I'd rather go through any pain love puts us through
BOTH:
Than to spend one day without you by my side

BOTH:
If you ever leave me
Will you take me with you
If you're ever lonely
I wanna be lonely too, oh-oh-woh
My home's beside you
No matter where you may go
BARBRA:
Where you may go
BOTH:
My love's inside you
Even more than you know-woh-oh-oh

BOTH:
And I can't remember life without you
The way it used to be
Feels like a million years away
VINCE:
But hold me till the angels sing
BARBRA:
Tell me every little thing
BOTH:
Promise me forever from this day

BOTH:
If you ever leave me
Will you take me with you
If you're ever lonely
I wanna be lonely too, woh-oh-woh-oh
My home's beside you
No matter where you may go
VINCE:
Where you may go
BOTH:
My love's inside you
Even more than you know-woh-oh-woh-oh
BARBRA
Even more than you know
VINCE:
Even more than you know
BOTH:
Even more than you know
Even more than you know
