Lyrics
If You Were Mine
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 you were mine I could be a ruler of kings
And if you were mine I could do such wonderful things
I'd say to a star
Stop where you are
Light up my lover's way
And every star above you
Would obey, say
If you were mine I would live for your love alone
To kneel at your shrine I would give up all that I own
Yes even my heart
Even my life I'd trade it all for you
And think I was lucky too
If you were mine
