If I Had You (feat. Coleman Hawkins, John Lewis and Percy Heath) - Roy Eldridge, Coleman Hawkins, John Lewis

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) on crown

Humble or poor — rich or renowned

There is nothing I couldnt do If I had you

(- baby if I had you)
