Think I’ll write you a song, hope it makes you sing along
If I could sooth your weary heart, could it last forever
So I’ll keep strumming away. till I ain’t got nothing left to say
If songs could really fill the world with joy and laughter
Would it really change your mind
(F-G-Am-Am-G-F-G7-C-C7-F-G-Am-G-F-Dm-G7)
If I could sing the world a song
forget about who’s right or wrong
I’d sing a melody so clear and strong
Everyone would sing along
So I’ll dream of a time, there’s no more dividing lines
If the lines I sing are true they’ll ring forever
I’ll keep moving ahead up where only angels tread
High above the silver clouds and the stormy weather
With voice that fills the sky
If I could sing the world a song
forget about who’s right or wrong
I’d sing a melody so clear and strong
Everyone would sing along
(E7-F-C-E7-Am-G-D/F#-F-D7-G7)
I’d wrap my arms around you, let the melodies surround you
we could come together through a song
Blanket the whole world in harmony
I give you my love and then you give back to me
Lead over Verse
If I could sing the world a song
forget about who’s right or wrong
I’d sing a melody so clear and strong
Everyone would sing along
Tag- I’d spin a melody so clear and strong
Everyone would sing along
