Daddy what if

Daddy What If
(Spoken intro)-I'd like to introduce you to the next superstar. Twenty years from now he's gonna be so ashamed of what he has done on this record that he's probably gonna sue me. And he and all of his friends are gonna be sitting around stoned, and he'll say, “Look what the old man made me do!” Let's give a big round of applause for Bobby Bare, Jr
Daddy, what if the sun stopped shining? What would happen then?
If the sun stopped shining, you'd be so surprised
You'd stare at the heavens with wide-open eyes
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shining again.
But daddy, what if the wind stopped blowing?
What would happen then?
If the wind stopped blowing, then the land would be dry
And your boat wouldn't sail and son, your kite couldn't fly
And the grass would see your trouble, and she'd tell the wind.
And the wind would start blowing again
But daddy, what if the grass stopped growing?
What would happen then?
Well, if the grass stopped growing you'd probably cry
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
And like your love for me, the grass would grow so high
Yes, the grass would start growing again.
But daddy, what if I stopped loving you?
What would happen then?
If you stopped loving me, then the grass would stop growing
The sun would stop shining and the wind would stop blowing
So you see, if you want to keep this old world a'goin'
You'd better start loving me again, again you'd better start loving me again
You hear me, Bobby?
Both: You'd better stop loving me again.
You love me, Bobby? Yes.
You’d better start loving me again
