|
I could show the world how to smile
|
I could be glad all of the while
|
I could change the gray 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 anew
|
If I had you
|
|
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
|
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 nothin' I couldn't do
|
If I had you
|

[Instrumental - first two verses]

|
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
|
Sail the mighty ocean wide
|
I could cross the burnin' desert
|
If I had you by my side
|
|
I could be a king uncrowned
|
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
|
There is nothin' I couldn't do
|
If I had you
|
|
Baby, if I had you
|
