If the stars were mine I'd give them all to you
|
I'd pluck them down right from the sky and leave it only blue
|
I would never let the sun forget to shine upon your face
|
So when others would have rain clouds you'd have only sunny days
|
If the stars were mine I tell you what I'd do
|
I'd put those stars right in a jar and give them all to you
|
|
If the birds were mine I'd tell them when to sing
|
I'd make them sing a sonnet when your telephone would ring
|
I would put them there inside the square whenever you went out
|
So there'd always be sweet music whenever you'd walk about
|
If the birds were mine I tell you what I'd do
|
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make them sing for you
|
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make them sing for you
|

|
|
If the world was mine I'd paint it gold and green
|
I'd make the oceans orange for a brilliant color scheme
|
I would color all the mountains make the sky forever blue
|
So the world would be a painting and I'd live inside with you
|
If the world was mine I tell you what I'd do
|
I'd wrap the world in ribbons and give it all to you
|
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make them sing for you
|
I'd put those stars right in a jar and give them all to you
|
