Lyric Daddy What If

(Shel Silverstein)

(Daddy what if the sun stop shinin , what would happen then?)

If the sun stopped shinin you d be so surprised
You d stare at the heavens with wide open eyes
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shinin again.

(Daddy what if the wind stopped blowin , what would happen then?)

If the wind stopped blowin then the land would be dry
And your boat wouldn t sail son and your kite wouldn t fly
And the grass would see your troubles and she d tell the wind
And the wind would start blowin again.

(But daddy, what if the grass stopped growin , what would happen then?)

If the grass stopped growin why you d probably cry
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
And like your love for me the grass would grow so high
Yes, the grass would start growin again.

(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 wanna keep this old world a goin
You better start lovin me again, again, you better start lovin me again.

You hear me Bobby, you better start lovin me again.
You love me Bobby, you better start lovin me again...
