Lyrics

  1. I’d like to make your golden dreams come true, dear
    If I only had my way
    A paradise this world would seem to you, dear
    If I only had my way

Chorus
If I had my way, dear, forever there’d be
A garden of roses for you and for me
A thousand and one things, dear, I would do
Lust for you, just for you, just for you
If I had my way we would never grow old
And sunshine I’d bring every day
You would reign all alone, like a queen on a throne
If I had my way

  1. You’d never know a care, a pain, or sorrow
    If I only had my way
    I’d fill your cup of happiness tomorrow
    If I only had my way
