If I Had The World To Give Lyrics - Shakedown Street - Grateful Dead

If I had the world to give, I'd give it to you 

Long as you live, would you let it fall, or hold it all in your arms? 

If I had a song to sing, I'd sing it to you 

As long as you live, lullaby or maybe a plain serenade 

Wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry or be afraid at the change you made 

I may not have the world to give to you 

But maybe I have a tune or two 

Only if you let me be your world 

Could I ever give this world to you 

But I will give what love I have to give, 

I will give what love I have to give, 

I will give what love I have to give, long as I live. 

If I had a star to give, I'd give it to you 

Long as you live, would you have the time 

To watch it shine, watch it shine 

Or ask for the moon and heaven too? I'd give it to you. 

Well maybe I've got no star to spare, or anything fine or even rare, 

Only if you let me be your world, could I ever give this world to you. 

Could I ever give this world to you.
