Lyrics Daddy What If - Bobby Bare

(I'd like to introduce you to the next superstar)
(20 years from now he's gonna be so ashamed of what he has done on this record)
(That he's probably gonna sue me)
(And he and all of his friends have always been sittin' around on stone)
(He said "Look what, you old man, make me boo")
(Let's give a big round of applause to Bobby Barry junior)

(Daddy, what if the sun stopped shinin'? What would happen then?)
If the sun stopped shinin' you'd be so surprised
You'd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shinin' again

(Daddy, what if the wind stopped blowin', what would happen then?)
If the wind stopped blowin' then the land would be dry
And your boat wouldn't sail, son, your kite couldn't fly
And the grass would see your troubles and she'd tell the wind
And the wind would start blowin' again

(But daddy, what if the grass stopped growin', what would happen then?)
Well, if the grass stopped growin' you'd probably cry
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
And like your love for me, the grass would grow so high
Yes, the grass would start growin' again

(But daddy, what if I stopped lovin' you, what would happen then?)
If you stopped lovin' me, then the grass would stop growin'
The sun would stop shinin' and the wind would stop blowin'
So you see, if you wanna keep this old world a-goin'
You better start lovin' me again, again, you better start lovin' me again

You hear me, Bobby? You better start lovin' me again
You love me, Bobby? (Yeah) you better start lovin' me again
