(J. Cambell, R. Connuelly, Shapiro)

[Recorded April 12, 1962, Los Angeles]



I could show the world how to smile

I could be glad all of the while

I could change the gray skies to blue

If I had you



I could leave the old days behind

Leave all my pals, I'd never mind

I could start my life anew

If I had you



I could climb a snow-capped mountain

Sail the mighty ocean wide

I could cross the burning desert

If I had you by my side



I could be a king, dear, uncrowned

Humble or poor, rich or renowned

There is nothin' I couldn't do

If I had you



[instrumental-first two verses]





I could climb a snow-capped mountain

Sail the mighty ocean wide

I could cross the burnin' desert

If I had you by my side



I could be a king uncrowned

Humble or poor, rich or renowned

There is nothin' I couldn't do

If I had you



Baby, if I had you
