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 can't I paint you
The words would never show
The you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go ?
There's no one home, but you
You're all that's left me to
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pull yourself on me
If a man could be two places
At one time, I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would go out
And you and I would simply fly away
