If I Were King

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If I were king of this whole world

I'd throw my arms around you girl

and change your birthday to a holiday

If I were leader of this place

I'd move the stars to frame your face

I'd make believe

that you had never gone away

but you went away

and I don't think I'll ever be king

you'll never come back home

you'll never take this ring

and I will live here all alone

I'll never be king

you'll never come home

you'll never take this ring

and I will go on all alone

all alone

If I were king of all I see

I'd take you everywhere with me

I'd show you places that you'd never seen before

but that's not how we play this game

all I offer is my name

and all I'll tell you are the things that lovers say

for evermore

but I don't think I'll ever be king

you'll never come back home

you'll never take this ring

and I will live here all alone

I'll never be king

you'll never come home

you'll never take this ring

and I will go on all alone

all alone

If I were someone in command

I'd give a kingdom for your hand

I'd make damn certain that you never got away

If I were king
