If the stars were mine

If the stars were mine
I´d give them all to you
I´d pluck them down right from the sky
And leave it only blue
I would never let the sun forget
To shine upon your face
So when others would have rain clouds
You´d have only sunny days
If the stars were mine
I´d tell you what I´d do
I´d put the stars right in a jar
And give ´em all to you
If the birds were mine
I´d tell them when to sing
I´d make them sing a sonnet
When your telephone would ring
I would put them there inside the square
Whenever you went out
So there´d always be sweet music
Whenever you walk about
If the birds were mine
I´d tell you what I´d do
I´d teach the birds such lovely words
And make ´em sing for you
I´d teach the birds such lovely words
And make ´em sing for you
If the world was mine
I´d paint it gold and green
I´d make the oceans orange
For a brilliant color scheme
I would color all the mountains
Make the sky forever blue
So the world would be a painting
And I´d live inside with you
If the world was mine
I´d tell you what I´d do
I´d wrap the world in ribbons
And then give it all to you
I´d teach the birds such lovely words
And make ´em sing for you
I´d put those stars right in a jar and
Give them all to you
I´d give them all to you
I´d pluck them down right from the sky
And leave it only blue
I would never let the sun forget
To shine upon your face
So when others would have rain clouds
You´d have only sunny days
If the stars were mine
I´d tell you what I´d do
I´d put the stars right in a jar
And give ´em all to you
If the birds were mine
I´d tell them when to sing
I´d make them sing a sonnet
When your telephone would ring
I would put them there inside the square
Whenever you went out
So there´d always be sweet music
Whenever you walk about
If the birds were mine
I´d tell you what I´d do
I´d teach the birds such lovely words
And make ´em sing for you
I´d teach the birds such lovely words
And make ´em sing for you
If the world was mine
I´d paint it gold and green
I´d make the oceans orange
For a brilliant color scheme
I would color all the mountains
Make the sky forever blue
So the world would be a painting
And I´d live inside with you
If the world was mine
I´d tell you what I´d do
I´d wrap the world in ribbons
And then give it all to you
I´d teach the birds such lovely words
And make ´em sing for you
I´d put those stars right in a jar and
Give them all to you
