Lyrics If I Had the World to Give - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

If I Had the World to Give

If I had the world to give
I’d give it to you
Long as you live, would you let it fall
Or hold it all in your arms?
If I had a song to sing
I’d sing it to you
As long as you live, lullabye
Or maybe a plain sereade
Wouldn’t you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid
At the trade you made
I may not have the world to give to you
But maybe I have a tune or two
Only if you let me be your world
Would I ever give this world to you,
Could I ever give this world to you.
But I will give what love I have to give,
I will give what love I have to give,
I will give what love I have to give,
Long as I live.
If I had a star to give
I’d give it to you
Long as you live, would you have the time
To watch it shine, watch it shine
Or ask for the moon and heaven too,
I’d give it to you.
Maybe I’ve got no star to spare
Or anything fine or even rare
Only if you let me be your world
Would I ever give this world to you,
Could I ever give this world to you.
