    Lyrics:
    If the sun would lose its light
    And we lived an endless night
    And there was nothing left that you could feel
    That's how it would be
    What my life would seem to me
    If I didn't have your love to make it real
    If the stars were all unpinned
    And a cold and bitter wind
    Swallowed up the world without a trace
    Ah, well that's where I would be
    What my life would seem to me
    If I couldn't lift the veil and see your face
    And if no leaves were on the tree
    And no water in the sea
    And the break of day had nothing to reveal
    That's how broken I would be
    What my life would seem to me
    If I didn't have your love to make it real
    If the sun would lose its light
    And we lived in an endless night
    And there was nothing left that you could feel
    If the sea were sand alone
    And the flowers made of stone
    And no one that you hurt could ever heal
    Well that's how broken I would be
    What my life would seem to me
    If I didn't have your love to make it real

    If I didn't have your love is easily the greatest love song of all time.

    He was dark, he was
    edgy, he was mystical, he was spiritual, sensual, romantic and erotic. A great
    poet-musician such as Leonard comes our way only once. We his contemporaries
    are both honoured to have shared his poetry and song and saddened in his passing.
    His aged and battered body is broken, but not the great spirit. He has found
    the peace and solitude for which he searched. Rest well our friend.

    His art came from another place, and he now rests there forever.

    This is one of the three best songs on the album for me:
    If I Didn't Have Your Love = a devout Christian's love song for God.
    Leaving the Table = an atheist's parting word to this world.
    Treaty = an unsure Christian's struggle with creeping doubts.
    All three are utterly beautiful songs. Cohen wrote them all for us so we can take a pick. It makes me wonder which one he himself was.

    You know you are not wasting your time while listening to a L.Cohen song. Poetry, philosophy, & a divine music to accompany it. One of the greatest who ever penned a song. Each word is deep and existential.

    There are two people who do not write pop music but are fantastically successful and loved: Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. I thin you are with one or t'other. I am with LC. That dies not mean I don't like Dylan, but Cohen speaks to me in a way that is so intimate that it could be me speaking. He articulates feelings that we all have but simply cannot express in the poesticy manner he always achieves.
