| If the sun stopped shinin'
|
| Why you’d be so surprised
|
| You’d stare up at the heavens
|
| With those big blue eyes
|
| And the wind would carry
|
| All of your light up to the skies
|
| And the sun would start shinin' again
|
| (And the sun would start shinin' again)
|
| (But daddy, what if the wind stopped blowin'?)
|
| (What would happen then?)
|
| If the wind stopped blowin'
|
| Then the land would be dry
|
| And your boat wouldn’t sail
|
| And your kite wouldn’t fly
|
| And the grass would see
|
| All of your troubles and she’d tell the wind
|
| And the wind would start blowin' again
|
| (And the wind would start blowin' again)
|
| (But daddy, what if the grass stopped growin'?)
|
| (What would happen then?)
|
| If the grass stopped growin'
|
| Why you’d probably cry
|
| And the ground would be weathered
|
| By the tears from your eyes
|
| And then like your love for me
|
| The grass would grow so high
|
| Yes, the grass would start growin' again
|
| (Yes, the grass would start growin' again)
|
| (But daddy, what if I stopped lovin' you?)
|
| (What would happen then?)
|
| If you stopped lovin' me
|
| Then the grass would stop growin'
|
| The sun would stop shinin'
|
| And the wind would stop blowin'
|
| So honey, if you want
|
| To keep this old world a goin'
|
| Well, you better start lovin' me again (again)
|
| You better start lovin' me again
|
| (But I love you, daddy)
|
| You do?
|
| You mean you were just teasin' me?
|
| (I was just teasin')
|
| Well, come o’er put your arms around me
|
| I’ll tell you a story. |
| (I'm sorry) |
