If You Were Mine (10/25/35) - Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson

If you were mine

I could be a ruler of kings

And if you were mine

I could do such wonderful things

I’d say to a star

Stop where you are

Light up my lover’s way

And every star above you

Would obey, say

If you were mine

I would live for your love alone

To kneel at your shrine

I would give up all that i own

Yes even my heart

Even my life

I’d trade it all for you

And think I was lucky too

If you were mine
