If - Orleans

If you were a rainbow and I was the sun

Getting up too close might make you run

But if you were a sailing ship and I was in your hold

It would feel just like a pot of gold

If you were a fish and I was a hook

We would get acquainted in a bubbling brook

If you were a tree and I was the sky

We would be together until we die

If you were a queen and I was a king

Our throne would be love and the song we sing

If you would let me kiss you and hold you through the night

The ending to this story would be all right

If you were a riddle and I was the reply

We would never have to question why

If you were a shadow and I was a wall

We would come together when nighttime falls
