Lackawanna Blues soundtrack – If I Ever Lost You [jimmy Scott] lyrics

How much my heart would ache
I know I can't explain
Nothing would be the same, it's true
What in this world would I do
If I ever lost you

How would I ever sleep
What good is counting sheep
When memories come creeping thru
I'd be continously blue
If I ever lost you

To me you are
The realm of desire
A dream that was fashion above
How could a fool, so humble as I
Would tell you
You're all that I love

Within my hungry heart
A million tears would start
And it would never spark anew
What in this world would I do
If I ever lost you
