If Lyrics by Dolly Parton
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(David Gates)

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 hen 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.

If I 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.

--- Instrumental ---

If a picture paints a thousand words then why can't I paint you
'Cause the words could never show the you I've come to know
And one by one the stars will all go out
But you and I will simply fly away.

We'll fly away...
