IF I HAD YOU

T. Shapiro, J. Campbell, R. Connelly

I dream'd all my dreams and schem'd all my schemes,
But somehow it just seem'd wrong;
Until I met you, and then, dear, I knew,
To me you must 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 the old days behind,
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind,
I could start my life all anew
If I had you.

I could climb the snow capp'd 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, uncrown'd,
Humble or poor or world-renowned,
There is nothing
I couldn't do
If I had you.

My whole life would be, just heaven to me,
Dear, if you could learn to care.
To know all the bliss of your loving kiss,
Was waiting for me somewhere...

I could show the world how to smile,
I could be glad all of the while.
I could change my grey skies to blue
If I had you.

I could leave the old days behind,
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind.
I could start my life all anew
If I had you.

I could climb the snow capp'd 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, uncrown'd,
Humble or poor or world-renowned.
There is nothing
I couldn't do
If I had you.
