Letra If de Dolly Parton original

(David Gates)

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can´t I paint you?
The words will never show
The you I´ve come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There´s no one home but you,
You´re all that´s left me too
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me
If I could be two places at one time,
I´d be with you
Tomorrow and today,
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die,
I´d spend the end with you
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can´t I paint you?
'Cause the words could never show
The you I´ve come to know
And one by one the stars will all go out,
But you and I will simply fly away
We'll fly away
