If I Had My Way

If I had my way everything would be lovely from the start There'd be songs to sing I would always win, we would never be apart Flowers would blossom everywhere you tread, there would be sweetness in the air I could tell the world about a certain girl and everyone would care You see if I had my way everyone would be perfectly content You wouldn't have to think, there'd be enough to drink No more worries about your rent boy And this song, would go platinum worldwide If I had my way And you would be right here by my side If I had my way I'd take the bright side never sing too long Optimism's fine until things go wrong You were smiling then, but I didn't see But then if I had my way, you'd be here with me If I had my way I wouldn't fall asleep with a vision of your face If I had my way most of the world would be a better place There was something else but I couldn't say it, you wouldn't read between the lines I took a chance on courage but I still don't know if you noticed my best line And this song, would go platinum worldwide If I had my way And you would be right here by my side If I had my way I'd take the bright side never sing too long Optimism's fine until things go wrong You were smiling then, but I didn't see But then if I had my way, you'd be here with me You'd smile as I hit that chord Instead of sitting there looking slightly bored I'm still smiling now, but you'll never see That if I had my way, you'd be here with me
