If Anything Happened To You

If Anything Happened to You

If anything happened to you,
If my worst fear should ever come true,
I'd have no reason to carry on through,
If anything happened to you.

I cannot imagine a world,
Without you around me to hold;
My days would be endless, my pleasures be few,
If anything happened to you.

If anyone took you away,
Or somehow you wandered astray,
There's nowhere I wouldn't pursue,
If anything happened to you.

So promise me you will take care,
It's a wicked old world out there;
I'd be devastated, be broken and blue,
If anything happened to you.

####.... Charlie McGettigan. Arranged by the Ennis Sisters (Red Is The Rose, 1997; Can't Be The Same, WEA International, 2003) ....####
