Lyrics
0:23If a picture paints a thousand words
0:29Then why can't I paint you
0:34The words will never show
0:40The you I've come to know
0:46If a face could launch a thousand ships
0:52Then where am I to go
0:57There's no one home but you
1:03You're all that's left me too
1:08And when my love for life is running dry
1:18You come and pour yourself on me
1:29And if a man could be two places at one time
1:37I'd be with you
1:41Tomorrow and today
1:46Beside you all the way
1:52If the world should stop revolving
1:57Spinning slowly down to die
2:03I'd spend the end with you
2:08And when the world was through
2:14Then one by one the stars would all go out
2:24Then you and I would simply fly away
If a picture paints a thousand words Then why can't I paint you The words will never show The you I've come to know If a face could launch a thousand ships Then where am I to go There's no one home but you You're all that's left me too And when my love for life is running dry You come and pour yourself on me And if a man could be two places at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today Beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving Spinning slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you And when the world was through Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and I would simply fly away
