On the train ride to Paris 
        
Or from sunny Barcelona 
                                                 
We rose up through the mountains as the sun started setting
        
And the sea came out below us
      
As we rode through a village
                                                            
We passed ten feet from a little porch where a man was serving dinner
                                           
And our window was open and we could hear them laughing.


               
I’m never gonna give you up
                      
What do you got if you ain’t got love?
                 
If you ain’t got love.
                      
What do you got if you ain’t got love?

    
At nine in the morning
      
After nine months of waiting
                   
You were born and I saw your face
                 
And you looked up at me
    
But before I could hold you
    
The doctors raced you from me
                     
They told me that you might not live
                  
your heart was not healthy.
                    
And with wires coming from you
     
I sat beside you.

                
I’m never gonna give you up
                      
What do you got if you ain’t got love?
                 
If you ain’t got love.
                      
What do you got if you ain’t got love?


              
Someday, someday soon,
                     
You and I will both be gone
                         
And lately I can’t help but think
                              
That the love we feel will live on.

At a little wooden cabin
Up in northern Minnesota
We ran together down to the dock
And you jumped right off it.
And from out in the water
You called me to join you
And I said “baby, I can not swim if I jump I’ll surely drown you.”
You said “life has no limit, if you’re not afraid to get in it.”

And Oh, baby I jumped to you,
Since then there’s nothing I can’t do.

I’m never gonna give you up
What do you got if you ain’t got love?
If you ain’t got love.
What do you got if you ain’t got love?

Someday, someday soon,
You and I will both be gone
But lately I can’t help but think
That the love we feel will live on
