If the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, I want you to know I love you
Silver raindrops falling from on high
While a dark red cloud fills up the sky
I don’t want our love to end this way

lyrics versions 4 and 5
Acid rain falling from on high
While a mushroom cloud fills up the sky
I don’t want it all to end this way
What about the songs we haven’t sung
What about the things we haven’t done
What’s the matter with the world today
When the bombs fall, oh yeah
When they end it all, oh yeah
When the bombs fall
I'll still believe in you
You have made the world a place to live
You have filled the heart with love to give
People go on fighting anyway
Can't they hear the children in the street
Don't they see the homeless at their feet
Why do people turn their face away
When the bombs fall, oh yeah
When they end it all, oh yeah
When the bombs fall
I'll still believe in you
And through the tears and all the moonless nights
You are still here to help me see the light
No matter what may come
I'll still believe in you
While a mushroom cloud fills up the sky
I don’t want it all to end this way
What about the songs we haven’t sung
What about the things we haven’t done
What’s the matter with the world today
When the bombs fall, oh yeah
When they end it all, oh yeah
When the bombs fall
I'll still believe in you
You have made the world a place to live
You have filled the heart with love to give
People go on fighting anyway
Can't they hear the children in the street
Don't they see the homeless at their feet
Why do people turn their face away
When the bombs fall, oh yeah
When they end it all, oh yeah
When the bombs fall
I'll still believe in you
And through the tears and all the moonless nights
You are still here to help me see the light
No matter what may come
I'll still believe in you
