If You Love Me
Love's Resilience: Unveiling Life's Cycle Through Elvis Costello's Melody
Lyrics
The fluctuating worth of this
The ever-changing value of this
Very terminal earth
This very final/destructive earth
And the satellite that glows
And the artificial object orbiting that shines
At night above me won't bear upon my mind
During the night above me won't affect my thoughts
But concerning womankind
But when it comes to women
I don't care if you're there if you love me
I'm indifferent to your physical presence if you have love for me
The seed must die, I know
I acknowledge that a seed must perish
Before new life can grow
Before a new life can emerge
And so would I die before I'd let you go
And similarly, I would cease to exist before letting you depart
So let the cold winds blow
So let harsh circumstances occur
Let the seasons come and go
Let the seasons pass by
Let the times gone by just die
Let the past times fade away
Like that old part of I
Just like that old part of myself
Again the sun may rise and
Once again, the sun might ascend
Burn through yellow skies
Penetrating through golden skies
But I'll see it through your blue eyes
However, my perception will be guided by your loving gaze
If you love me
If you have love for me
The seed must die, I know
I acknowledge that a seed must perish
Before new life can grow
Before a new life can emerge
And so would I die if you don't love
And similarly, I would cease to exist if you don't love me
(If you love me)
I'll see it in your eyes
I'll discern it through your eyes
If it's true or if it's lies
Whether it's genuine or fabricated
But I'll feel it if it's real
But I'll sense it if it's authentic
If you don't love me
If you don't possess love for me
If you love me (If you love me)
If you have love for me
