If I Had You
Unlocking Joy: Discovering Life's Possibilities in 'If I Had You'
Lyrics
I could show the world how to smile
I could demonstrate happiness and positivity to the world.
I could be glad all of the while
I could be constantly joyful.
I could change the grey skies to blues
I could turn sad or gloomy situations into cheerful ones.
If I had you
My ability to achieve these positive changes depends on having you.
I could leave the old days behind
I could leave behind my past.
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
I wouldn't mind leaving my friends behind.
I could start my life all a new
I could start anew in my life.
If I had you
Again, this desire for a new beginning hinges on having you.
I could climb the snow capped mountains
I could achieve great feats, like climbing mountains.
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could explore vast oceans.
I could cross the burning desert
I could endure challenging situations, like crossing a desert.
If I had you by my side
As long as I have you beside me in these endeavors.
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
I could live a life of significance, regardless of recognition.
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
Regardless of my social or financial status, I'd feel content.
There is nothing I couldn't do
All of this is achievable only if I have you.
If I had you
The realization of all these aspirations is contingent upon having you.
I could show the world how to smile
Reiteration of the earlier sentiments.
I could be glad all of the while
Re-emphasis on the capability to maintain happiness.
I could change the grey skies to blues
Reaffirmation of transforming sadness into happiness.
If I had you
Restating that these abilities are dependent on having you.
I could leave the old days behind
Reiterating the willingness to leave the past.
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
Re-emphasizing the readiness to part with friends.
I could start my life all a new
Reiteration of the desire for a fresh start.
If I had you
Re-emphasizing that this desire depends on having you.
I could climb the snow capped mountains
Reaffirmation of achieving great feats.
Sail the mighty ocean wide
Reiterating the desire to explore wide expanses.
I could cross the burning desert
Re-emphasis on enduring difficult situations.
If I had you by my side
Restating the importance of having you in these endeavors.
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Reaffirmation of leading a meaningful life.
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
Reiteration of contentment regardless of circumstances.
There is nothing I couldn't do
Final emphasis on the dependency of achieving all these on having you.
