Chad Mitchell Trio - If I Gave You lyrics

If I gave you fields of clover Beds of flowers, pink and blue Crowns of laurel, walls of ivy Would you let me walk with you If I gave you prides of lions Teams of horses, two by two And a school of flying fishes Would you let me dance with you A casket of jade, a cluster of pearls A shower of stars for your curls But I have no prides of lions And my pearls, alas, are few But for worlds of loving heartbeats Would you let me stay with you spoken: Love is a series of "darlings" and "dearies" Of "honeys" and "sweeties" and sugared entreaties Of moonings and swoonings, and cooings and billings All tempered of course by occasional k**ings
