If lyrics

If a picture paints a thousand words,

then why can't I paint you?

The words will never show

the you I've come to know.

If a face could launch a thousand ships,

then where am I to go?

There's no one home but you,

you're all that's left me too.

And when my love

for life is running dry,

you come and pour

yourself on me.

If a girl could be in two places at one time,

I'd be with you—

tomorrow and today,

beside you all the way.

If the world should stop revolving,

spinning slowly down to die—to die,

I'd spend the end with you,

and when the world was through

then one by one

the stars would all go out.

Then you and I would

simply fly away.
