IF
I RULED THE WORLD (Harry Seacombe / Tony Bennett)
(OPENER & MIDDLE BREAK)
(Chorus)
If I ruled the world
Every day would be the first day of spring
Every
heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring
(Chorus)
If I ruled the world
Every man would be as free as a bird,
Every
voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred
(FIGURES)
(Verse)
My
world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams
(CLOSER)
(Chorus)
If I ruled the world
Every man would say the world was his friend
There'd
be happiness that no man could end
No my friend, not if I ruled the world
(Finale)
Every head would be held up high
There'd be
sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world
