If

This is a song originally by David A. Gates in 1971 and made popular by Bread (not your regular Gardenia or High 5). The lyrics are very meaningful.

If a picture paints a thousand words

Then why can't I paint you

The words will never show

The you I've come to know

If a face could launch a thousand ships

Then where am I to go

You're all that's left me too

And when my love for life is running dry

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

And when the world was through

Then one by one the stars would all go out

And you and I would simply fly away

Dedicated to my dar...
