If a picture paints a thousand 1 Then why can't I paint you? The words will never show the you I've come to 2 If a face could 3 a thousand ships Then where am I to go? There's no one 4 but you You're all that's left me to And when my love for life is 5 dry You come and 6 yourself on me If a man could be two 7 at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving 8 slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you And when the world was 9 Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and I would 10 fly away
If a picture paints a thousand 1 words Then why can't I paint you? The words will never show the you I've come to 2 know If a face could 3 launch a thousand ships Then where am I to go? There's no one 4 home but you You're all that's left me to And when my love for life is 5 running dry You come and 6 pour yourself on me If a man could be two 7 places at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving 8 spinning slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you And when the world was 9 through Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and I would 10 simply fly away

"If"是一首美国Bread(面包合唱团)在1971年《MANNA》专辑里的歌，是当时排行榜连续几周的冠军歌曲。委婉深情的曲调与清丽的木吉他淡淡地揉和在一起，如一股恬静的清泉，洗去每位听者内心的浮躁，让迷离的夜平添几分极至的宁静与安详。
If a picture paints a thousand 1
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to 2
If a face could 3 a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one 4 but you
You're all that's left me to
And when my love for life is 5 dry
You come and 6 yourself on me
If a man could be two 7 at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving 8 slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was 9
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would 10 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

You come and pull yourself on me

And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would seem fly away
