bread - if

if a picture paints a thousand words,                
then why can't i paint you?
the words will never show the you i've come to know.
if a face could launch¹ a thousand ships,
then where am i to go?
there's no one home but you, you're all that's left me to.
and when my love for life is running dry,
you come and pour yourself on me.if a man could be two places at one time,
i'd be with you.
tommorrow and today, beside you all the way.
if the world should stop revolving² spinning slowly down to die,
i'd spend the end with you. and when the world was through,
then one by one the stars would all go out,
then you and i would simply fly away
