If the stars were mine I´d give them all to you
I´d pluck them down right from the sky and leave it only blue
I would never let the sun forget to shine upon your face

So when others would have rain clouds you´d have only sunny days
If the stars were mine I tell you what I´d do
I´d put those stars right in a jar and give them all to you

If the birds were mine I´d tell them when to sing
I´d make them sing a sonnet when your telephone would ring
I would put them there inside the square whenever you went out
So there´d always be sweet music whenever you´d walk about
If the birds were mine I tell you what I´d do
I´d teach the birds such lovely words and make them sing for you
I´d teach the birds such lovely words and make them sing for you

(scat)

If the world was mine I´d paint it gold and green
I´d make the oceans orange for a brilliant color scheme
I would color all the mountains make the sky forever blue
So the world would be a painting and I´d live inside with you
If the world was mine I tell you what I´d do
I´d wrap the world in ribbons and give it all to you
I´d teach the birds such lovely words and make them sing for you
I´d put those stars right in a jar and give them all to you
