If the stars were mine  I'd give them all to you

I'd pluck them down right from the sky And leave it only blue 
D9 
I would never let the sun forget To shine upon your face 
G                                D9

I'd make them sing a sonnet When your telephone would ring 
D9 
I would put them there inside the square Whenever you went out 
G                           D9 
So there'd always be sweet music Whenever you walk about

If the birds were mine I'd tell you what I'd do

I'd teach the birds such lovely words And make 'em sing for you 
Db7     C7        B7     Bb7     D7                      G

If the world was mine I'd paint it gold and green

I'd make the oceans orange For a brilliant color scheme 
D9 
I would color all the mountains Make the sky forever blue 
G                           D9 
So the world would be a painting And I'd live inside with you

If the world was mine I'd tell you what I'd do

Db7     C7        B7     Bb7     D7                  
I'd teach the birds such lovely words And make 'em sing for you  
Db7     C7        B7     Bb7     D7                     G  
I'd put those stars right in a jar and Give them all to you
