If I Had A Million Dollars

If I Had A Million Dollars

(Matty Malneck / Johnny Mercer)

Al Bowlly acc. by orchestra, directed by Victor Young


Castles with their thrones
Ships upon the sea
Gold and precious stones
All belong to me
Foolish though it seems
Every word is true
Though they're only my own dreams
My dreams belong to you

If I had a million dollars
I know just what I would do
I'd tie a string around the World
And bring all of it to you
Those little things you pray for
Whatever they may be
I'd have enough to pay for
Them all, C.O.D

If I spent a million dollars
I know I would never care
Because as long as you were mine
I'd still be a millionaire
That's why I'm always dreaming
Dreaming of what I'd do
If I had a million dollars and you

That's why I'm always dreaming
Dreaming of what I'd do
If I had a million dollars and you
