Shel Silverstein
Daddy What If (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)
[Verse 1]
(Oh, Daddy, what if the sun stop shinin'
What would happen then?)
If the sun stopped shinin' you'd be so surprised
You'd stare up at the heavens with wide open eyes
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shinin' again
[Verse 2]
(Oh, Daddy, what if the wind stopped blowin'
What would happen then?)
If the wind stopped blowin' the land would be dry
And your boat couldn't sail, and your kite couldn't fly
And the grass would hear your sighin', and she would tell the wind
And the wind would start blowin' again
[Verse 3]
(But, Daddy, what if the grass stopped growin' ?
What would happen then?)
If the grass stopped growin' you'd probably cry
And the ground would be watеred by the tears from your еyes
And like your love for me the grass would reach so high
That the grass would start growin' again
Ask me another
[Verse 4]
(But, Daddy, what if I stopped lovin' you?
What would happen then?)
If you stopped lovin' me then the grass would stop growin'
The sun would stop shinin', and the wind would stop blowin'
So you see if you want to keep the world goin'
You better start lovin' me again
