If I Had You
Etta Jones
I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the grey skies to blues
If I had you I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals,
I'd never mind I could start my life all a new
If I had you I could climb the snow capped mountains
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do If I had you
I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the grey skies to blues
If I had you I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind I could start my life all a new
If I had you I could climb the snow capped mountains
Sail the mighty ocean wide I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
