if... from if... by Chapin-Wickwar

When I was just a child
My imagination would run wild
I was dreaming of a world of all things new
But isn't that quite ordinary
Like Father Christmas and tooth fairy
I don't think I'm different to you

But if I had a father
And if I had a mother
Would I see a world beneath these scars
Would the lay down beside me
Underneath the sky
Would they wrap me in a blanket made of stars

As the years they passed me by
You faded like the lullaby
You sang to me before I feel asleep
The one day I remember
When you held me so tender
And gave to me your love for me to keep

If I had a father and if I had a mother
Would I see a world beneath these scars
Would they lay down beside me
Underneath the sky
Would they wrap me in a blanket made of stars

As I look back upon my years
With far more laughter than my tears
I think I might not miss you quite so much
If I could turn back time for you
I know exactly what I'd do
I'd hold you in my arms
To feel your touch

If I had a father
If I had a mother
Would I see a world beneath these scars
Would they lay down beside
Me underneath the sky
Would they wrap me in a blanket made of stars

If I had a father
If I had a mother
If I had a sister
And if I had a brother
If I had a best friend
And if I had a lover
Would they wrap me in a blanket made of stars
