If ( David Gates ) lyrics

Song information

Artist: Perry Como
Album: I Think Of You

Lyrics

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 pour
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
When the world was through . .

Then one by one
The stars would all go out . .
Then you and i
Would simply fly away!
