If I Had You 1914

I never envied the rich millionaires,
I never wanted to have what was theirs,
I never bother about their affairs
as the others do.
All that I want is a chance to be glad,
I've grown so tired of being so sad.
There's only one thing I wish that I had,
that's you, just you.

If I had you
to just be around when I'm blue,
a "FourByTwo"
would be like a mansion
on Fifth Avenue.
I would'nt change places with Carnegie!
Or any one else that I know,
there's be hours and hours
of sunshine and flowers
if I had you.

I never envied those rich millionaires,
Who sit around in their silkcover'd chairs.
Any old sofa, with someone who cares,
it would more than do.
Just you and me,
and I'd want nothing more,
maybe a baby to play on the floor,
I'd have a whole lot to be thankful for
if I had you.

If I had you
to just be around when I'm blue,
a "FourByTwo"
would be like a mansion
on Fifth Avenue.
I would'nt change places with Carnegie!
Or any one else that I know,
there's be hours and hours
of sunshine and flowers
if I had you.
