If I Ruled The World lyrics

IF I RULED THE WORLD 

 Tony Bennett 

 Words by Leslie Bricusse/Music by Cyril Ornadel 

  

 If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring 

 Every heart would have a new song to sing 

 And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring 

  

 If I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird, 

 Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard 

 Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred 

  

 My world would be a beautiful place 

 Where we would weave such wonderful dreams 

 My world would wear a smile on its face 

 Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams 

 If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend 

 There'd be happiness that no man coud end 

 No my friend, not if I ruled the world 

 Every head would be held up high 

 There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky 

 If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world
