Lyrics

If

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 a picture paints a thousand words,

Then why cant I paint you?

The words will never show

The you Ive come to know

If a face could launch a thousand ships,

Then where am I to go?

Theres no one home but you,

Youre all thats left me too

And when my love for life is running dry,

You come and pour yourself on me

If I could be two places at one time,

Id be with you

Tomorrow and today,

Beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolving

Spinning slowly down to die,

Id spend the end with you

And when the world was through,

Then one by one the stars would all go out,

Then you and I would simply fly away

If a picture paints a thousand words,

Then why cant I paint you?

'Cause the words could never show

The you Ive come to know

And one by one the stars will all go out,

But you and I will simply fly away

We'll fly away
