[00:01.00] Melody Gardot - If the Stars Were Mine
[00:03.00]
[00:08.02] If the stars were mine
[00:10.54] I'd give them all to you
[00:13.20] I'd pluck them down right from the sky
[00:15.35] and leave it only blue
[00:17.27] I would never let the sun
[00:18.84] forget to shine upon your face
[00:21.40] so when others would have rain clouds
[00:23.79] you'd have only sunny days
[00:26.12] If the stars were mine
[00:28.19] I'd tell you what I'd do
[00:30.28] I'd put the stars right in a jar
[00:32.75] and give 'em all to you
[00:36.28]
[00:38.11] If the birds were mine
[00:40.14] I'd tell them when to sing
[00:42.31] I'd make them sing a sonnet
[00:44.25] when your telephone would ring
[00:46.68] I would put them there inside the square,
[00:48.96] whenever you went out
[00:51.08] so there'd always be sweet music
[00:53.05] whenever you would walk about
[00:55.35] If the birds were mine
[00:57.86] I'd tell you what I'd do
[00:59.88] I'd teach the birds such lovely words
[01:02.05] and make 'em sing for you
[01:04.05] I'd teach the birds such lovely words
[01:06.43] and make 'em sing for you
[01:09.97]
[01:40.53] If the world was mine
[01:43.19] I'd paint it gold and green
[01:45.38] I'd make the oceans orange
[01:47.39] for a brilliant color scheme
[01:49.70] I would color all the mountains,
[01:51.78] make the sky forever blue
[01:54.08] So the world would be a painting
[01:56.14] and I'd live inside with you
[01:58.39] If the world was mine
[02:00.74] I'd tell you what I'd do
[02:02.76] I'd wrap the world in ribbons
[02:04.91] and then give it all to you
[02:07.05] I'd teach the birds such lovely words
[02:09.37] and make 'em sing for you
[02:11.35] I'd put those stars right in a jar...and..........
[02:18.27] give them all...to you.......
[02:33.63]
