Discover the story of the song > If You Were Gone – Alexander Rybak

The lyrics are about how important the protagonist's partner is to his life. The protagonist is saying that if his partner was gone, everything would be sad and meaningless. The moon would lose its brightness, birds would stop singing, and the waves would be sad. The days and nights would be pointless, and the protagonist would sing a sad song about the happy times they had together. The protagonist can't imagine his life without his partner, and he wants her to stay with him forever. Without his partner, the world wouldn't have any meaning for him and he wouldn't be able to smile. Even though the sun would keep shining, the protagonist would never be happy again without his partner. The protagonist wants his partner to stay with him forever and he can't imagine his life without her.
