If Lyrics



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 can launch a thousand ships

Then where am I to go

There’s no one home but you

You all that’s left me too

And when my love

For life is running dry

You come and pour yourself on me



If a man could be in two places

At one time I will be with you

Tomorrow and today

Beside you all the way



If the world should stop revolving

Spinning slowly

And down to die

I’d spend the end with you

When the world was through



Then one by one

The stars will all go out

Then you and I

Would simply fly away



If a picture paints a thousand words

Then why can’t I

Why can’t I paint you
