Lyrics
IF I GO (lullaby) © Runk 2008
If I go, you can come ... and be the only one
And if you cry, then I will too - I will spend the time with you
If I find a treasure chest, I will buy you all the best
And when it rains, 'cause you're my friend ... I'll take to you to the rainbow's end.
If the sunshine is too bright, I will hold you in the night
If the moon just doesn't rise, I will take you to the skies
If the wind comes rushing fast, do not fear 'cause it won't last
And though the ocean is so wide, we'll sail the seas at eventide
Many years from now, you may wake up and cry
Storms and monsters thrive, I can't tell you why
But keep this lullaby, and sing it to a friend who's blue
Someone who might depend on you ... this lullaby's a song for two
Though the mountain seems so high, we can climb it side by side
And though the road ahead is long, just remember this sweet song ...
If I go, you can come, and be the only one
And if you cry, then I will too, I will spend the time with you
If I find a treasure chest, I will buy you all the best
And when it rains, 'cause you're my friend, I'll take to you to the rainbow's end.
