Daddy What If - Bobby Bare

If the sun stopped shinin'

Why you’d be so surprised

You’d stare up at the heavens

With those big blue eyes

And the wind would carry

All of your light up to the skies

And the sun would start shinin' again

(And the sun would start shinin' again)

(But daddy, what if the wind stopped blowin'?)

(What would happen then?)

If the wind stopped blowin'

Then the land would be dry

And your boat wouldn’t sail

And your kite wouldn’t fly

And the grass would see

All of your troubles and she’d tell the wind

And the wind would start blowin' again

(And the wind would start blowin' again)

(But daddy, what if the grass stopped growin'?)

(What would happen then?)

If the grass stopped growin'

Why you’d probably cry

And the ground would be weathered

By the tears from your eyes

And then like your love for me

The grass would grow so high

Yes, the grass would start growin' again

(Yes, the grass would start growin' again)

(But daddy, what if I stopped lovin' you?)

(What would happen then?)

If you stopped lovin' me

Then the grass would stop growin'

The sun would stop shinin'

And the wind would stop blowin'

So honey, if you want

To keep this old world a goin'

Well, you better start lovin' me again (again)

You better start lovin' me again

(But I love you, daddy)

You do?

You mean you were just teasin' me?

(I was just teasin')

Well, come o’er put your arms around me

I’ll tell you a story.

(I'm sorry)
