If I Had the World to Give

If I had the world to give, I'd give it to you Long as you live, would you let it fall, or hold it all in your arms? If I had a song to sing, I'd sing it to you As long as you live, lullaby or maybe a plain serenade Wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid at the change you made I may not have the world to give to you But maybe I have a tune or two Only if you let me be your world Could I ever give this world to you But I will give what love I have to give, I will give what love I have to give, I will give what love I have to give, long as I live. If I had a star to give, I'd give it to you Long as you live, would you have the time To watch it shine, watch it shine Or ask for the moon and heaven too? I'd give it to you. Well maybe I've got no star to spare, or anything fine or even rare, Only if you let me be your world, could I ever give this world to you. Could I ever give this world to you. --- If I Had the World to Give - Grateful Dead
