If I Had You
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 could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could turn the gray skies to blue
If I had you
I could leave my old days behind
Leave all my pals and never mind
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross a burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a queen dear on ground
Humble or poor
Rich or renown
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you
