If I Were a Poet
If I were a poet
I'd write you a beautiful love song
If I were a singer
I'd sing it to you
If I were a jeweller
I'd bring you a handful of diamonds
Just to prove to you
How much I love you
If I were a gardener
I'd grow you the perfect roses
I'd grow carnations
Exotic orchids too
If I had the means
I'd buy you a tropical island
Just to prove to you
How much I love you
But I'm an ordinary man with an ordinary job
Working hard at trying to make an ordinary living
I wash my car on Saturdays
And on Sundays I attend the service of the Heavenly King
I'm ordinary in so many ways and many folks can do
Many things much better than I ever could do
But no man alive on earth today
Could love you any better than I do
If I were the ocean
I'd yield my pearls in abundance
You'd have them in pink and white
And rainbow colours too
If I had a kingdom
You'd be the sole ruler
Just to prove to you
How much I love you
But I'm an ordinary man with an ordinary job
Working hard at trying make an ordinary living
I wash my car on Saturdays
And on Sundays I attend the service of the Heavenly King
I'm ordinary in so many ways and many folks can do
Many things much better than I ever could do
But no man alive on earth today
Can love you any better than I do
But no man alive on earth today
Can love you any better than I do
How I love you
