THAT’S ALRIGHT WITH ME song lyrics by Joel Sattler
If you want the harvest moon
I'd reap it with the rye
and if you want the morning star
I'd pluck it from the sky
If you want an ode to joy
I'd make a song to sing
and if you want to fly away
I'd give you my own wings
I'd make you any promises
whatever they may be
but if all that you want is love
well, that's all right with me
If you want the biggest whale
that swimming in the sea
I'd resurrect Captain Ahab
and he would sail with me
And if you want a dinosaur
I'd build a time machine
and we'd go back a zillion years
cause that's all right with me
I'd make you any promises
whatever they may be
but if all that you want is love
well, that's all right with me
But if all you want is to be warm
in your own little home
with little ones all dancing round
the Christmas tree full grown
and if you want nothing but love
as far as you can see
then I'll love you forevermore
and that's all right with me
that's all right with me, my dear
that's all right with me
I'll love you forevermore
and that's all right with me.
