If I Had You Lyrics by Dire Straits

The Last Waltz

1983

[Chorus]
If I had you, the things that I could do
(Honey) If I had you
[Verse 1]
Now I could sing like an angel, fly just like a bird
Sing you the best love song you ever heard
I could be a poet like Muhammad Ali
Float like a butterfly, sting just like a, just like a bee
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Now I'd go get your name tattooed on my chest
Well it'd just say 'My baby, my baby, she's the best!'
I could be your Superman, you could be my Lois Lane
I could be a Tarzan, you could be my sweet Jane if you wanted to
[Chorus][x2]
[Outro][x2]
Oh boy
Only if I had you
So come on dance with me baby, don't let me go
Yeah dance with me baby, don't let me go
Baby don't let me, don't let me don't let me go, oh no[repeat until fade]
