High Spirits - If I Gave You Lyrics

1964 Broadway
High Spirits the Musical - If I Gave You Lyrics


The song is written by Hugh Martin and Timothy Gray.

If I gave you fields of clover,
Beds of flowers, pink and blue,
Crowns of laurel, walls of ivy -
Would you let me walk with you?

If I gave you prides of lions,
Teams of horses, two by two,
And a school of flying fishes,
Would you let me dance with you?

A casket of jade, a cluster of pearls,
A shower of stars for your curls.

But I have no prides of lions
And my pearls, alas, are few.
But for worlds of loving heartbeats -
Would you let me stay with you?

If I gave you rings of diamonds,
Silver buckles for your shoe,
Gown of velvet, fans of ivory -
Would you let me walk with you?

If I gave you strands of coral,
Rays of sunlight, drops of dew,
Clouds of perfume, fleets of gondolas
Would you let me dance with you?

A chalice of wine, a palace of mist
A bracelet of moons for your wrist.

But I have no rings of diamonds,
One of glass will have to do.
But for worlds of loving heartbeats,
Will you let me stay with you?
