If - Marianna Leporace

If a picture paints a thousand words

Then why can't I paint you

The words will never show

For 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

And now you left me too

And when my love for life is running dry

You come and pour yourself on me

If a man could be 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

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
