If love was a river

And I was a drowning man

Would you get in the water

Would you lend me a hand

If love was a river

Would you sit on the land

[Verse 2]

If love was a mountain

High above this town

Would you climb to the top

Would you never look down

If love was a mountain

B E

Would you go around

[Chorus]

A E B E

Love rarely knocks so many times upon your door

A E C#m B

And heaven only knows if it will come back anymore

If love was a firefly

Sitting in your hand

Would you laugh when it twinkled

Let it go again

If love was a firefly

Would you understand

[Solo]

If love was a party

With everyone you know

Would you dance if I asked you

Would you even go

Love rarely knocks so many times upon your door

Would you never look back

If love was a fast train

Would you even pack?
