5080. Daddy, What If? (by Shel Silverstein)

Описание: This song was popularised by Bobby Bare, who sang it with his son, Bobby Bare Jr.

D ………….........…….. Em
Daddy, what if the sun stopped shining?
A7 ………………............…. D D7
What would happen then?

……...... G ………………...........…. D
If the sun stopped shining you'd be so surprised
…..…..... G ………………................……. D
You'd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes.
……... G ……………...........…..…. D
The wind would carry your light to the skies
………...... Em ……..........……… A7 …...… D
And the sun would start shining again.

But Daddy, what if the wind stopped blowing?
What would happen then?

If the wind stopped blowing you’d probably cry
Because your boat wouldn't sail and your kite wouldn't fly
And the grass would see your troubles and she'd tell the wind
And the wind would start blowing again.

But daddy, what if the grass stopped growing?
What would happen then?

If the grass stopped growing then the land would be dry
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
And like your love for me the grass would grow so high.
The grass would start growing again.

But daddy, what if I stopped loving you?
What would happen then?

If you stopped loving me then the grass would stop growing
The sun would stop shining and the wind would stop blowing.
So you see, son, if you want to keep this old world a going
You better start loving me again (again)
You better start loving me again.
