i'll stop loving you

i'll stop loving you, when diamonds never sparkle
and leaves cease to grow, when thunder doesn't
e c h o and rivers do not flow. when hearts no longer
wonder and hands are never held, when smiles are
only memories and hope is never felt. when trees
no longer blossom and stars refuse to shine, when
autumn has no falling leaves and winter never dies,
when time has no tomorrows and rainbows have
no hue, when God alone commands me to,
then i'll stop loving you.
