If… |
| If you were the road |
| I’d go all the way |
| If you were the night |
| I’d sleep in the day |
| If you were the day |
| I’d cry in the night |
| Cause you are the way |
| The truth, and the light |
| If you were a tree |
| I could put my arms around you |
| And you could not complain |
| If you were a tree |
| I could carve my name into your side |
| And you would not cry |
| Cause trees don’t cry |
| If you were a man |
| I would still love you |
| If you were a drink |
| I’d drink my fill of you |
| If you were attacked |
| I would kill for you |
| If your name was Jack |
| I’d change mine to Jill for you |
| If you were a horse |
| I’d clean the crap out of your stable |
| And never once complain |
| If you were a horse |
| I could ride you through the fields at dawn |
| Through the day until the day was gone |
| I could sing about you in my songs |
| As we rode away into the setting sun |
| If you were |
| My little girl |
| I would find it hard to let you go |
| If you were |
| My sister |
| I would find it doubly so |
| If you were a dog |
| I’d feed you scraps from off the table |
| Though my wife complains |
| If you were my dog |
| I am sure you’d like it better then |
| You’d by my loyal four-legged friend |
| You’d never have to think again |
| And we could be together till the end |
