If You Loved Her

If you loved her,

You’d look in her eyes

You’d see how much she wanted it

How much she needed it

 

If you loved her,

You’d know her,

Her hopes and dreams

What makes her smile

 

If you loved her,

You’d protect her

From the hurt trying to get in

From the pain sitting on her shoulders

 

If you loved her,

You’d help her

Achieve the highest heights,

And soar through the big blue sky

 

If you loved her,

You wouldn’t let,

Anything bad happen to her

For as long as the sun shined

 

If you loved her

You would clear a path

For her to walk through

With soft ground and singing birds

 

Or maybe you do love

But can't protect

From all the hurt

All the pain in the world

 

Maybe you do love

Quietly

Carrying her when she can't walk

Protecting her from the worse

 

Maybe you do love

Because you understand more than she thought

You can guide her through the path

And help her along the way

 

Maybe...

Maybe that's just it
