If I could - 1927

If I could paint I'd paint a portrait of you
The sunlight in your eyes a masterpiece of truth
And a single tear like a silent prayer
That's shining so much brighter than a diamond ever-dared

If I could do anything at all I'd do it for you

If I could write I'd write a book for you
A tale of hidden treasures with an I.O.U
But a million words wouldn't say a thing
That won't be said in three words
Where love's the central theme

If I could do anything at all I'd do it for you

Hey darling can't you see
What you mean to me
Anything I could do I'd do it for you

Hey daring don't you know
Just how far I'd go
Anything I could do I'd do it for you

Sometimes I feel so second rate
Seems loving you was my greatest mistake I know
I'm insecure and love don't keep a score
But I wish I could give you more

If I could play, i'd play up a storm for you
A raging sea of passion that you never knew
Every whispered sound would touch your heart
And maybe for a moment I could be your favourite star

If I could do anything at all
If I could I'd give you more
If I could do anything at all

I'd do it for you.
