"If I Had You" — Campbell, Connelly, and Shapiro's 1928 conditional contentment.
Writer(s): shapiro/campbell/connelly
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 - Id 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

There is nothing I couldnt do
If I had you
(- baby if I had you)
