If                                                   by BREAD

If a picture paints a thousand word,
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?
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,
and when the world was through.

Then one by one the stars would all go out,
then you and I would simply fly away.

as i was browsing through my collection of songs, i rediscovered IF, a song that i once loved so much, sung by Bread. there's a kind of tingle that wakes me up to remember how wonderful the lyrics are upon listening to the song.

simple words and sentences yet powerful enough to make sound declaration of unyielding love. please close your eyes and listen closely. IF.
