Lyrics If - Orleans

If

If you were a rainbow and I was the sun
Getting up too close might make you run
But if you were a sailing ship and I was in your hold
It would feel just like a pot of gold
If you were a fish and I was a hook
We would get acquainted in a bubbling brook
If you were a tree and I was the sky
We would be together until we die
If you were a queen and I was a king
Our throne would be love and the song we sing
If you would let me kiss you and hold you through the night
The ending to this story would be all right
If you were a riddle and I was the reply
We would never have to question why
If you were a shadow and I was a wall
We would come together when nighttime falls
