If Lyrics

The song If is performed by Dolly Parton in the album named Acoustic Collection: 1999-2002 in the year 2006 .

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 to

And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me

If I 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

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
'Cause the words could never show
The you I've come to know

And one by one the stars will all go out
But you and I will simply fly away
Will fly away
