IF I RULED THE WORLD 
 Tony Bennett 
 Words by Leslie Bricusse/Music by Cyril Ornadel 

 If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring 
 Every heart would have a new song to sing 
 And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring 

 If I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird, 
 Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard 
 Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred 

 My world would be a beautiful place 
 Where we would weave such wonderful dreams 
 My world would wear a smile on it's face 
 Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams 
 If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend 
 There'd be happiness that no man coud end 
 No my friend, not if I ruled the world 
 Every head would be held up high 
 There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky 
 If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world
