If I were king of this whole world I'd throw my arms around you girl and change your birthday to a holiday If I were leader of this place I'd move the stars to frame your face I'd make believe that you had never gone away but you went away and I don't think I'll ever be king you'll never come back home you'll never take this ring and I will live here all alone I'll never be king you'll never come home you'll never take this ring and I will go on all alone all alone If I were king of all I see I'd take you everywhere with me I'd show you places that you'd never seen before but that's not how we play this game all I offer is my name and all I'll tell you are the things that lovers say for evermore but I don't think I'll ever be king you'll never come back home you'll never take this ring and I will live here all alone I'll never be king you'll never come home you'll never take this ring and I will go on all alone all alone If I were someone in command I'd give a kingdom for your hand I'd make damn certain that you never got away If I were king
