If Love

If love was blindness
I would never see
If love was darkness
I would never be free

If love was heartless
I would feel no pain
If love was mindless
There would be no shame

If love was music
I would always dance
If love was you
I would take a chance

If love was poetry
I would always write
If love was a star
I would see the light

If love was blackness
I would finally understand
If love was the devil
I would take the devil's hand

I'd do it all for love
