IF I RULED THE WORLDTony BennettWords by Leslie Bricusse/Music by Cyril OrnadelIf I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of springEvery heart would have a new song to singAnd we'd sing of the joy every morning would bringIf I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird,Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heardTake my word we would treasure each day that occurredMy world would be a beautiful placeWhere we would weave such wonderful dreamsMy world would wear a smile on its faceLike the man in the moon has when the moon beamsIf I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friendThere'd be happiness that no man coud endNo my friend, not if I ruled the worldEvery head would be held up highThere'd be sunshine in everyone's skyIf the day ever dawned when I ruled the world
