In a perfect world money would grow on trees Everybody would drive around in big black Cadillac limousines In my paradise we’d all get along Everything would be cut and dry And everybody would know right from wrong That all sounds real good I’d change the world if I could But if I could wish for anything You’d still love me I see you walking back right now Like the hands of time stood still some how And I’d hold you in these arms We’d make love till the break of dawn We’d laugh like fools Get back to how it used to be You’d still love me In a perfect world, you could erase the past Take back your yesterdays and reverse the sand in the hour gla** We’d all find a way to forgive and forget And we’d never have hurt each other And we wouldn’t be living with these regrets
Wouldn’t that be great No pain, no mistakes It’s like an old movie scene You’d still love me I see you walking back right now Like the hands of time stood still some how And I’d hold you in these arms We’d make love till the break of dawn We’d laugh like fools Get back to how it used to be You’d still love me You’d still love me Time only moves in one direction Money doesn’t grow on trees Even with all its imperfections What a place this world would be If came back walking back right now Like the hand of time stood still some how And I’d hold you in these arms We’d make love till the break of dawn And we’d laugh like fools Get back to how it used to be You’d still love me You’d still love me
