Bobby Bare - Daddy What If Lyrics
Daddy What If(Spoken intro)-Iâd like to introduce you to the next superstar. Twenty years from now heâs gonna be so ashamed of what he has done on this record that heâs probably gonna sue me. And he and all of his friends are gonna be sitting around stoned, and heâll say, âLook what the old man made me do!â Letâs give a big round of applause for Bobby Bare, JrDaddy, what if the sun stopped shining? What would happen then?If the sun stopped shining, youâd be so surprisedYouâd stare at the heavens with wide-open eyesAnd the wind would carry your light to the skiesAnd 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 dryAnd your boat wouldnât sail and son, your kite couldnât flyAnd the grass would see your trouble, and sheâd tell the wind.And the wind would start blowing againBut daddy, what if the grass stopped growing?What would happen then?Well, if the grass stopped growing youâd probably cryAnd the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyesAnd like your love for me, the grass would grow so highYes, 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 growingThe sun would stop shining and the wind would stop blowingSo you see, if you want to keep this old world aâgoinâYouâd better start loving me again, again youâd better start loving me againYou hear me, Bobby?Both: Youâd better stop loving me again.You love me, Bobby? Yes.Youâd better start loving me again
