Had You Been Around
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.
I might have known a lot of things
Been smiled upon by kings and queens
Had you been around
Perhaps had you been by my side
My dreams might not have been denied
Had you been around
I've wasted many years, tasted many tears
And I want to know
Lost on my own before I knew of you
I might have heard a sigh
Of someone passing by
Had you been around
And though it seems absurd
I really never heard
A sound
Until that day you came my way
With pleasure I never found
It all might have been
Had you been around
Had you been around
Perhaps had you been by my side
My dreams might not have been denied
Had you been around
I've wasted many years, tasted many tears
And I want to know
I'm lost on my own before I knew of you
I might have heard a sigh
Of someone passing by
Had you been around
And though it seems absurd
I really never heard
A sound
Until that day you came my way
With pleasure I never found
It all might have been
Had you been around
One more time, it all might have been
Had you been around
Do it again, it all might have been
Had you been around
Had you been around
