If ( David Gates )

If a picture paints a thousand words,

Then why can't i paint you?

The words would never show,

The you i've come to know . . .



If a face could launch a thousand ships,

Then where am i to go?

There's no one home but you,

You're all that's left me to . . .



And when my love for life

Is running dry,

You come and pour

Yourself on me . . .



If a man could be two places at one time,

I'd be with you,

Tomorrow and today,

Beside you all the way . . .



If the world should stop revolving,

Spinning slowly down to die,

I'd spend the end with you

When the world was through . . .



Then one by one

The stars would all go out . . .

Then you and i

Would simply fly away!
