Show Du Jour
11/21/78. It seems like an unremarkable show. I should have chosen 11/21/73.
11/20/78 has a rare and beautiful “If I Had The World To Give.” It made me think of Brian, so I sent him the lyrics.
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 in your arms?If I had a song to sing
I’d sing it to you, long as you live
Lullaby
Or maybe a plain serenadeWouldn’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 twoOnly if you let me be your world
Could I ever give this world to you
Could I ever give this world to youBut 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 liveIf 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 rareOnly if you let me be your world
Could I ever give this world to you
Could I ever give this world to you
