Lyrics
"Even If I Die"
Written by Yves Stilmant © 2025
Verse 1A
Sometimes I watch you choosing roads I wouldn't take
My heart holds tight, afraid you'll learn through ache
But love means letting go while praying you'll be strong
And trusting you'll come back, no matter what feels wrong
Verse 1B
You walk your path, even when I don't agree
But I'll still be the ground beneath your feet
You may not see it, but I feel your every storm
And I'd take your pain and carry it through the morn
Pre-Chorus
You might not always hear me
But I'm always on your side
No matter where the road goes
I'll be your quiet guide
Chorus
Even if I die, my love won't fade
It's in the stars, the wind, the light of day
You're my hope, my heart, my truth, my pride
The reason I have peace inside
Even if we fight, or say goodbye
I'll always be your dad --
Even if I die
Verse 2A
You've got your dreams, and I've got lines upon my face
But I still see the child I used to chase
And every time you stumble, every time you rise
You carry both our stories in your eyes
Verse 2B
I see myself in how you love, how you stand tall
And in your silence, I still hear it all
You're the reason I keep writing through the night
Hoping every word will hold you tight
Pre-Chorus
We might not share each moment
But you're with me all the time
No distance ever changes
This father's love of mine
Chorus
Even if I die, my love won't fade
It's in the stars, the wind, the light of day
You're my hope, my heart, my truth, my pride
The reason I have peace inside
Even if we fight, or say goodbye
I'll always be your dad --
Even if I die
Bridge
And someday when you're standing in the quiet morning air
You'll feel me in the stillness -- just look, I'll be there
Final Chorus
Even if I die, my love won't fade
Not time, not tears, not heaven's gate
You're my strength, my soul, my every try
You gave me wings and taught me why
So if you ever doubt or wonder why--
Just know you were my world...
Even if I die
