If I Had You 1928

I dreamed all my dreams
And schemed all my schemes
But somehow it just seemed wrong
Until I met you
And then, dear, I knew
To me you must belong

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the grey 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 all anew
If I had you
I could climb a snowcapped mountain
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

My whole life would be
Just heaven to me
Dear, if you'd learn to care
To know all the bliss
Of your loving kiss
Was waiting for me somewhere

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the grey 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 all anew
If I had you
I could climb a snowcapped mountain
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
