My Song to E

Sometimes you hear a beautiful song and just know it is YOUR song. I love my iPhone Pandora and always listen to it while working. My Edith Pilaf station is my absolute fav that gives me many smiles throughout the day. But I digress.

Melody Gardot has an absolutely enchanting song that somehow puts all my wishes for E in a beautiful, melodic song. This really is one of those songs you wish to put a bow around and give as a gift. Here's a link to the song, courtesy of YouTube

Here are the lyrics:

IF THE STARS WERE MINE
by Melody Gardot

If the stars were mine
I'd give them all to you
I'd pluck them down right from the sky
And leave it only blue

I would never let the sun forget
To shine upon your face
So when others would have rain clouds
You'd have only sunny days

If the stars were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd put the stars right in a jar
And give 'em all to you

If the birds were mine
I'd tell them when to sing
I'd make them sing a sonnet
When your telephone would ring

I would put them there inside the square
Whenever you went out
So there'd always be sweet music
Whenever you walk about

If the birds were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd teach the birds such lovely words
And make 'em sing for you
I'd teach the birds such lovely words
And make 'em sing for you

If the world was mine
I'd paint it gold and green
I'd make the oceans orange
For a brilliant color scheme

I would color all the mountains
Make the sky forever blue
So the world would be a painting
And I'd live inside with you

If the world was mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd wrap the world in ribbons
And then give it all to you

I'd teach the birds such lovely words
And make 'em sing for you
I'd put those stars right in a jar and
Give them all to you
