In a perfect world money would grow on trees
Everybody would drive around in big black Cadillac limousines
In my paradise we'd all get along
Everything would be cut and dry
And everybody would know right from wrong
That all sounds real good
I'd change the world if I could
But if I could wish for anything
You'd still love me
I see you walking back right now
Like the hands of time stood still some how
And I'd hold you in these arms
We'd make love till the break of dawn
We'd laugh like fools
Get back to how it used to be
You'd still love me
In a perfect world, you could erase the past
Take back your yesterdays and reverse the sand in the hour glass
We'd all find a way to forgive and forget
And we'd never have hurt each other
And we wouldn't be living with these regrets
Wouldn't that be great
No pain, no mistakes
It's like an old movie scene
You'd still love me
I see you walking back right now
Like the hands of time stood still some how
And I'd hold you in these arms
We'd make love till the break of dawn
We'd laugh like fools
Get back to how it used to be
You'd still love me
You'd still love me
Time only moves in one direction
Money doesn't grow on trees
Even with all its imperfections
What a place this world would be
If came back walking back right now
Like the hand of time stood still some how
And I'd hold you in these arms
We'd make love till the break of dawn
And we'd laugh like fools
Get back to how it used to be
You'd still love me
