If I could I'd bottle up your tears
And turn them to sweet water
Build a wine cellar and let it age for years
What a sweet drink that would be?
If I could capture all your charms
Get some golden thread to string them on
That would make such fine jewelry
Then I would spend my days
Selling drinks and jewelry
All night and all day
I know that I could make a million
Selling drinks and jewelry
Man, I'd have it my way
If I could capture what your sweet eyes see
And put it down in black and white
For a year or two I'd do it every day
Get a peace prize for the book I'd write
Every day, might take a while
Then I'd paint my masterpiece
And I would spend my days
Selling drinks and jewelry
All night and all day
I know that I could make a million
Selling books and paintings
Man, I'd have it my way
If only I could make a million, if I could
I'd build you a boat with the reaps from that willow tree
And I'd take the sheets from our bed
And cut us a sail to sail away
To where I'd spend my days
Selling drinks and jewelry
All night and all day
I know that I could make a million
Selling drinks and jewelry
Man, I'd have it my way
If only I could make a million
Selling drinks and jewelry
And books and paintings
Drinks and jewelry
If I could
If I could I'd bottle up your tears
