I heard her sing in tongues of silver
                           
I heard her cry on a summer storm
                            
I loved her, but she did not know it
                             
So I don't think about her anymore
                             
Now she's gone, and I can't believe it
                          
So I don't think about her anymore


                           
If three and four were seven only
                              
Where would that leave one and two
                           
If love can be and still be lonely
                            
Where does that leave me and you?
                              
Time there was, and time there will be
                            
Where does that leave me and you?


                  
If I had a buckskin stallion
                          
I'd tame him down and ride away
                 
If I had a flyin' schooner
                          
I'd sail into the light of day
                  
If I had your love forever
                      
Sail into the light of day

                      
Pretty songs and pretty places
                      
Places that I've never seen
                       
Pretty songs and pretty faces
                           
Tell me what their laughter means
                          
Some look like they'll cry forever
                           
Tell me what their laughter means

                  
If I had a buckskin stallion
                          
I'd tame him down and ride away
                 
If I had a golden galleon
                          
I'd sail into the light of day
                  
If I had your love forever
                      
Sail into the light of day
