I cannot ever live without you:  (A Song)

I can think of living on Mount Everest

I can think of living in a far off zoo.

I can live under a deep and mighty ocean.

But I cannot ever live without you.

The world is stony, it’s dry, it has suffering,

When I am lonely, see you cry, or see you sulking.

There are moments when I try but get nothing.

I can drink up buckets full of sorrow.

I can eat even wood put in stew.

I can starve from today to tomorrow.

But I cannot ever live without you.

Life has moments of madness, it has pleasure.

There are seasons of sadness without measure.

Life can give me the gladness I would treasure.

I can go across a desert if you want that.

I can run and climb up any tree in view.

I can jump off a skyscraper and fall flat.

But I cannot ever live without you.
