If I Had You
Unlocking Happiness: George Shearing's Melodic Ode to Love and Possibilities
Lyrics
I could show the world how to smile
I could demonstrate happiness to the world.
I could be glad all of the while
I could be joyful constantly.
I could change the grey skies to blues
I could transform gloomy days into cheerful ones.
If I had you
If I had your companionship.
I could leave the old days behind
I could leave the past behind.
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
Abandoning my friends would not bother me.
I could start my life all a new
I could start my life anew.
If I had you
If I had you with me.
I could climb the snow capped mountains
I could conquer challenging mountains.
Sail the mighty ocean wide
Sail across vast oceans.
I could cross the burning desert
I could navigate through scorching deserts.
If I had you by my side
With you by my side.
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
I could have royal stature without a formal title.
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
Whether humble, poor, rich, or famous.
There is nothing I couldn't do
There is nothing beyond my capabilities.
If I had you
If I had you with me.
I could show the world how to smile
Repeat of line 1.
I could be glad all of the while
Repeat of line 2.
I could change the grey skies to blues
Repeat of line 3.
If I had you
Repeat of line 4.
I could leave the old days behind
Repeat of line 5.
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
Repeat of line 6.
I could start my life all a new
Repeat of line 7.
If I had you
Repeat of line 8.
I could climb the snow capped mountains
Repeat of line 9.
Sail the mighty ocean wide
Repeat of line 10.
I could cross the burning desert
Repeat of line 11.
If I had you by my side
Repeat of line 12.
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Repeat of line 13.
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
Repeat of line 14.
There is nothing I couldn't do
Repeat of line 15.
