If

If Lyrics

(David Gates)


If a picture paints a thousand words,

Then why can´t I paint you?

The words will never show

The you I´ve come to know

If a face could launch a thousand ships,

Then where am I to go?

There´s no one home but you,

You´re all that´s left me too

And when my love for life is running dry,

You come and pour yourself on me

If I could be two places at one time,

I´d be with you

Tomorrow and today,

Beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolving

Spinning slowly down to die,

I´d spend the end with you

And when the world was through,

Then one by one the stars would all go out,

Then you and I would simply fly away


If a picture paints a thousand words,

Then why can´t I paint you?

'Cause the words could never show

The you I´ve come to know

And one by one the stars will all go out,

But you and I will simply fly away

We'll fly away
