If I Had You

I could show the world how to smile

I could be glad

all of the while

I could change the grey skies to blue

If I had you

I could leave my old friends behind

Leave all my pals, I wouldn't mind

I could start my life all new

If I had you

I could climb the snow capped mountains

Sail the mighty ocean wide

I could cross the burning desert

If I had you by my side

I could be a king, dear, uncrowned

Humble or poor, rich or renowned

There is nothing I couldn't do

If I had you

I dreamed of my dreams

and schemed on my schemes

but somehow

it just seemed wrong

until I met you

was then dear I knew

to me martyrs belong

I could show the world how to smile

I could be glad

all of the while

I could change the grey skies to blue

If I had you

I could leave my old friends behind

Leave all my pals, I wouldn't mind

I could start my life all new

If I had you

I could climb the snow capped mountains

Sail the mighty ocean wide

I could cross the burning desert

If I had you by my side

I could be a king, dear, uncrowned

Humble or poor, rich or renowned

There is nothing I couldn't do

If I had you
