I could show the world how to smile I could be glad all of the while I could change the gray skies to blue If I had you I could leave the old days behind Leave all my pals, I'd never mind I could start my life anew If I had you I could climb a snow-capped mountain Sail the mighty ocean wide I could cross the burning desert If I had you by my side I could be a queen, dear, uncrowned Humble or poor, rich or renowned There is nothin' 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 gray skies to blue If I had you I could leave the old days behind Leave all my pals, I'd never mind I could start my life anew If I had you I could climb a snow-capped mountain Sail the mighty ocean wide I could cross the burnin' desert If I had you by my side I could be a king uncrowned Humble or poor, rich or renowned There is nothin' I couldn't do If I had you Baby, if I had you
