If You Were Mine
By Jim Reeves
G
Count the raindrops in a rainstorm
D7
Count the leaves upon a tree
Count the stars up in the heavens
G
Count the fish down in the sea
Put them all together
C D7
And here’s what you would find
They’d be equal to the kisses
G
You would get if you were mine
C
If you were mine mine mine
G
If you were only mine
A7
I would love you more
D7
Than you’ve ever been loved before
G
Count the times the sun has risen
D7
Since the day the world began
Find a beach beside the ocean
G
Count the little grains of sand
Add them both together
C D7
And here’s what you would find
They’d be equal to the love
G
You would find if you were mine
Take a child’s love for its mother
D7
It’s a love that never ends
Take a brothers love for brother
G
Or the love of mans best friend
Put them all together
C D7
And here’s what you would find
They’d be equal to the love
G
I'd have for you if you were only mine
Repeat #3
G
Take the happiness of someone
C D7
That has won the jackpot prize
Take the happiness of children
G
When their birthday gifts arrive
Add that happiness together
C D7
And here's what you would find
It's just equal to the love
G
I'd know if you were only mine
