If I Had You-Lennie Tristano/Art Taylor

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
