if I could I'd bottle up your tears    and turn them to sweet water    build a wine cellar and let it age for years    what a sweet drink that would be    if I could capture all your charms    get some golden thread to string them on    that would make such fine jewelry    then I would spend my days    selling drinks and jewelry    all night and all day    I know that I could make a million    selling drinks and jewelry    man I'd have it my way       if I could capture what your sweet eyes see    and put it down in black and white    for a year or two I'd do it every day    get a peace prize for the book I'd write    every day, might take a while    then I'd paint my masterpiece    and I would spend my days       selling drinks and jewelry    all night and all day    I know that I could make a million    selling books and paintings    man I'd have it my way    if only I could make a million    if I could...       I'd build you a boat    with the reaps from that willow tree    and I'd take the sheets from our bed    and cut us a sail to sail away    to where I'd spend my days       selling drinks and jewelry    all night and all day    I know that I could make a million    selling drinks and jewelry    man I'd have it my way    if only I could make a million    selling drinks and jewelry    and books and paintings    drinks and jewelry    if I could...       if I could I'd bottle up your tears
