G                 Am

Daddy what if the sun stop shining

D7                G    G7

What would happen then



       C                   G

If the sun stopped shining you'd be so surprised

      C                    G

You'd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes

        C                     G            Em

And the wind would carry your light to the skies

        Am              D7       G

And the sun would start shining again



                  Am

Daddy what if the wind stopped blowing

D7                G    G7

What would happen then



       C                    G

If the wind stopped blowing then the land would be dry

         C                          G

And your boat wouldn't sail son and your kite couldn't fly

        C                                 G              Em

And the grass would see your troubles and she'd tell the wind

        Am               D7       G

And the wind would start blowing again



                      Am

But daddy what if the grass stopped growing

D7                G    G7

What would happen then



       C                     G

If the grass stopped growing why you'd probably cry

        C                              G

And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes

         C                          G             Em

And like your love for me the grass would grow so high

        Am                D7      G

Yes the grass would start growing again



                    Am

But daddy what if I stopped loving you

D7                G

What would happen then



         C                       G

If you'd stop loving me then the grass would stop growing

        C                          G

The sun would stop shining and the wind would stop blowing

       C                          G           Em

So you see if you wanna keep this old world a going

    Am           D7        G     Em

You better start loving me again again

    Am           D7        G

You better start loving me again



You hear me Bobby

    Am           D7        G

You better start loving me again



You love me Bobby

    Am           D7        G

You better start loving me again
