Description
If you knew that you would die today ..
If you saw the face of God and Love ..
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that love could break your heart ..
Even when down so low you cannot fall ..
Would you change?
How bad .. how good .. does it need to get?
How many losses?.. How much regret?
What chain reaction ..
What cause and effect ..
Makes you turn around ..
Makes you try to explain ..
Makes you forgive and forget ..
Makes you change?
If you knew that you would be alone ..
Knowing "right" .. yet being wrong ..
Would you change?
If you knew that you would find a truth ..
That brings a pain that can't be soothed ..
Would you change?
If everything you think you know ..
Makes your life unbearable ..
Would you change?
If you'd broken every rule and vow ..
Yet hard times come to bring you down ..
Would you change?
If you knew that you would die today ..
'n saw the face of God and Love
Would you change?
If not now .. then when?
If not today, then ..
Why make your promises?
A love declared for days to come ..
Is as good as none
If not now .. what then?
We all must live our lives ..
Always feeling ..
Always thinking ...
The moment has arrived

That's a wonderful render and the lyrics complement it wonderfully. Well done Terry! 
I could only vaguely recall the song so off to YouTube did I go. I listened to a couple of versions and must say that I enjoyed Tracy Chapman's version much more than the rendition by the Chipmunks. LOL

The Chipmunks .. Fuhk Yeah! ... John, Paul, George and Nietzsche. Gotta luv 'em!
This was one of the rare times when the boys let Neech' step out from behind the drums and give vent to his latent Existentialism. You really have to admire the other Munks for their graciousness. I have to confess, though, I was really heartbroken when they split up.
Thank you kindly for your words, Gene!
With warmth,
Terry

Nietzsche always knew how to convey the music of the soul ... and yeah, too bad about the breakup. However, who can forget his greatest hit? "Faith means not wanting to know what is true" which was a catchy tune and ya could dance to it.

Ah .. Charlie .. Charlie ... she is so many things.
When she is tender she is sweet, yes.
But then, of course, it always depends upon who is looking at the moment the shutter does its magic. & Then, as I have mentioned many times over the years, 'Charlie's not like the others.'
So much time and emotion was imbued in her during the creation process that all one need do, when working together, is be patient and listen. So much is there to be heard .. and portrayed .. with time she reveals nearly all. That's the tender beauty of Charlie.
With dear warmth ...
