If I Were King
words and music by Tony Carey




If I were king of this whole world
IŽd throw my arms around you girl
and change your birthday to a holiday
If I was leader of this place
IŽd move the stars to frame your face
IŽd make believe
that you had never gone away
but you went away

And I donŽt think IŽll ever be king
youŽll never come back home
youŽll never take this ring
and I will live here all alone
IŽll never be king
youŽll never come home
youŽll never take this ring
and I will go on all alone
all alone

If I were king of all I see
IŽd take you everywhere with me
IŽd show you places that
youŽd never seen before
but thatŽs not how we play this game
all I offer is my name
and all IŽll tell you are
the things that lovers say
for evermore

But I donŽt think IŽll ever be king
youŽll never come back home
youŽll never take this ring
and I will live here all alone
IŽll never be king
youŽll never come home
youŽll never take this ring
and I will go on all alone
all alone

If I were someone in command
IŽd give a kingdom for your hand
IŽd make damn certain that
you never got away
If I were king
