Lyrics
If You Were My Girl
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.
Though astronomers say,
it's an awful long way,
from here to the moon,
I would go there on my honeymoon,
if you were my girl . . .
Far away from the crowd,
we could live on a cloud,
a castle in air,
It would be a storybook affair,
if you were my girl . . .
If you'd like some ice cream,
from the milky way,
I would shinny up the moonbeam,
an' bring you a rainbow parfait . . .
Just a sailin' along,
on the wings of a song,
with you by my side,
life would be a rolly coaster ride,
if you were my girl . . .
I would go there on my honeymoon,
if you were my girl . . .
It would be a storybook affair,
if you were my girl . . .
If you'd like some ice cream,
from the milky way,
I would shinny up the moonbeam,
an' bring you a rainbow parfait . . .
Just a sailin' along,
on the wings of a song,
with you by my side,
life would be a rolly coaster ride,
if you were my girl . . .
if you were my girl . . .
if you were my girl . . .
