If I Could Lyrics

If I Could lyrics

If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world

 If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea

 I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody

 And let you dream away till the morning light returned again

 To take you away from me

 

 If I could speak with the tongues of the masters of old

 If I could tame all the fleeting perceptions I hold

 Would I stand in the marketplace before

 To be shouted down without any warning at all, to be stood by the wall

 And shot by the man in blue

 

 If I could run with the grace of a sun-colored stallion

 If I could fly like the great silver jets in the morning

 If I caused the wind to change with one wave of my hand

 And if I could play the final symphony and set it free

 Would it mean anything to you

 

 If I could stand like a rusty old man in his armor

 If I could ride the steed that he rode in his time

 I would turn his head away to the river

 And let him wander through the meadow grass, wild and free

 For everyone to see

 

 If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world

 If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea

 I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody

 And let you dream away till the morning light returned again

 To take you away from me
