IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
I HAD JUST ONE THING TO SAY
YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS
ALL WE NEED TO GET US THROUGH
Diamond rings
And all those things
They never sparkle like your smile
And as for fame
It's just a name
That only satisfies you for a while
REPEAT BRIDGE & CHORUS
I've heard it said
Or maybe read
Only money makes the world go 'round
But all the gold
Won't heal your soul
If your world should tumble to the ground
REPEAT BRIDGE
So listen,
Love is all, love is all, love is all we need (repeat)
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
If I was King
For just one day
For just one thing to say
Love...
