If
Joshua Payne Lyrics

If a picture paints a thousand words,
If an image can convey a great deal of meaning,

then why can't I paint you?
why can't I express my feelings for you through my own words or actions?

The words would never show,
Words can not fully convey

the you I've come to know . . .
Who you are as a person and what you mean to me.

If a face could launch a thousand ships,
If a person's beauty could inspire great feats and accomplishments,

then where am I to go?
Why am I still searching for that inspiration?

There's no one home but you,
You're the only one who can make me feel at home and at peace.

you're all that's left me to . . .
After everything else I've experienced or lost, you're the only one who remains significant in my life.

And when my love for life
When my excitement for living and my hope for the future

is running dry,
is depleting or wavering,

You come and pour
You arrive and reinvigorate me

yourself on me . . .
with your own passion and energy.

If a man could be two places at one time,
If I had the ability to be in two places at once,

I'd be with you,
I would prioritize being with you above all else,

tomorrow and today,
In the future and in the present,

beside you all the way . . .
Always by your side and supporting you in all endeavors.

If the world should stop revolving,
If the world were to come to a halt,

Spinning slowly down to die,
Slowly coming to an end,

I'd spend the end with you
I'd want to spend that time with you,

and when the world was through . . .
When it was all over,

Then one by one
Gradually and eventually

the stars would all go out . . .
The universe and everything around us would also end,

Then you and I
At the end of it all,

would simply fly away!
We would escape together, leaving everything else behind.
