If I had a waterfall We wouldn't wonder, not at all How much fun each day was gonna be If I had a mountain top I know we would never stop Climbing way high up to look and see If I had a jellyfish I betcha we would never miss A single peanut butter kiss or squeeze If I had a waterfall It might not make no sense at all But that won't matter much to you and me Babies get born Even in a war I guess just to show us What livin's for My heart still Believes that love For what we need Can be enough If we'll just stop Keepin' score If I had a big giraffe That tried to dance and made us laugh Every smile and giggle would be free If I had a big moonlight We'd turn it back on every night Just so the dark could try and get some sleep If I had a rocket ship We'd go places really quick Then have the time to stop and get ice cream If I had a big giraffe He'd have to take a real long bath And that's why waterfalls are really neat Babies get born Even in a war I guess just to show us What livin's for My heart still Believes that love For what we need Can be enough If we'll just stop Keepin' score If I had an everything We could stand out in the rain And only feel the drops we wanted to If I had a wonderful We could play out in the snow And never have to wear our socks and shoes If I had a pot of luck I wouldn't have to spend a buck And get all the stuff we needed for a sneeze If I had an everything We wouldn't get wet in the rain And ridin' waterfalls would be a breeze If I had a big giraffe He'd have to take a real long bath And that's why waterfalls are really neat

If I could I'd take us back To where we were When we didn't need to be Anyplace but deep inside The moment love first came to life and see There's a way lost hope can lead To help find that memory Baby if you just believe A yearning heart can Teach us how Regret is hope We haven't learned to see Even in the total dark I know we can find a spot with dreams The first step back up off the ground Is letting go of what held us down And then just to believe... Words they just get in my way When really all I'm tryin' to say is Believe If I could I'd take us back To when our hearts were both boldly free But words they just get in my way When really all I'm tryin' to say is Believe, believe Believe, believe Believe, yeah words Can just get in the way When all I ever meant to say is Believe!
