If I Had the World to Give - Grateful Dead

If I had the world to give

I’d give it to you

Long as you live, would you let it fall

Or hold it all in your arms?

If I had a song to sing

I’d sing it to you

As long as you live, lullabye

Or maybe a plain sereade

Wouldn’t you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid

At the trade you made

I may not have the world to give to you

But maybe I have a tune or two

Only if you let me be your world

Would I ever give this world to you,

Could I ever give this world to you.

But I will give what love I have to give,

I will give what love I have to give,

I will give what love I have to give,

Long as I live.

If I had a star to give

I’d give it to you

Long as you live, would you have the time

To watch it shine, watch it shine

Or ask for the moon and heaven too,

I’d give it to you.

Maybe I’ve got no star to spare

Or anything fine or even rare

Only if you let me be your world

Would I ever give this world to you,

Could I ever give this world to you.
