I like it    I don't like it

[Inspired by Dinah Washington's 1955 recording of a song introduced by Rudy Vallee in 1928]

I could show the world how to smile

I could be glad all of the while

I could change the gray skies to blue

If I had you

I could leave the old days behind

Leave all my pals, I'd never mind

I could start my life anew

If I had you

I could climb a snow-capped mountain

Sail the mighty ocean wide

I could cross the burning desert

If I had you by my side

I could be a king, dear, uncrowned

Humble or poor, rich or renowned

There is nothin' I couldn't do

If I had you

[Instrumental - first two verses]

I could climb a snow-capped mountain

Sail the mighty ocean wide

I could cross the burnin' desert

If I had you by my side

I could be a king uncrowned

Humble or poor, rich or renowned

There is nothin' I couldn't do

If I had you

Baby, if I had you
