Verse:

I'd like to make your gold -en dream come true, dear, If I on -ly had my way.

A par -a -dise this world would seem to you, dear, If I on -ly had my way.

 

Chorus:

If I Had My Way, dear, for -ev -er, There'd be

A gar -den of ro -ses for you and for me,

A thou -sand and one things, dear, I would do,

Just for you, Just for you, Just for you.

If I Had My Way we would nev -er grow old,

And sun -shine I'd bring ev -'ry day.

You would reign All a -lone, Like a queen on a throne,

If I Had My Way.
