If I Had The World To Give

Music By Jerry Garcia
Words By Robert Hunter

Released November 1978

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, long as you live Lullaby Or maybe a plain serenade Wouldn't you laugh, dance and cry or be afraid At the change 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 Could 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
