If I had a day to live, I would fill the world with song,
If I had forty years to live,
If I had a day to live, I would hold each thing of beauty to me,
If I had forty years to live,
If I had a day to live, I would share my breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
If I had forty years to live,
If I had a day to live, I would forgive the wrongs done me,
If I had forty years to live,
If I had a day to live, I would clean the corners of my mind,
If I had forty years to live,
If I had a day to live, I would call for the end of war,
If I had forty years to live,
If I had a day to live, I would say I love you to friends and strangers,
If I had forty years to live,
If I had forty years to live,
If I had forty years to live.
