If
David Gates
If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can´t I paint you?
The words will 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
And now you've left me, too
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
And when the world was through
Then, one by one, the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away
