Daddy What If

(album: Sings Lullabys, Legends And Lies - 1973)

(Daddy what if the sun stop shining, what would happen then?)

If the sun stopped shining you'd be so surprised
You'd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shining again.

(Daddy what if the wind stopped blowing, what would happen then?)

If the wind stopped blowing then the land would be dry
And your boat wouldn't sail son and your kite wouldn't fly
And the grass would see your troubles and she'd tell the wind
And the wind would start blowing again.

(But daddy, what if the grass stopped growing, what would happen then?)

If the grass stopped growing why you'd probably cry
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
And like your love for me the grass would grow so high
Yes, the grass would start growing again.

(But daddy. what if I stopped loving you, what would happen then?)

If you stopped loving me then the grass would stop growing
The sun would stop shining and the wind would stop blowing
So you see if you wanna keep this old world a going
You better start loving me again, again, you better start loving me again.

You hear me Bobby, you better start loving me again.
You love me Bobby, you better start loving me again...
