If I said I love you
Is it true, is it new?
If I said I love you
Is it you I'm going to?

I'll tell you when the world is cold
When we can let the truth be told
Will it make you laugh
Or make you cry
Either way, we're both gonna die

If I said I love you
Could it be honestly?
If I said I love you
Is it me you really see?

I'll tell you when our years are gold
When we're both 85 years old
Will you take me back
Oh don't be shy
After all, we're both gonna die
