If I Had a Cent

If I Had A Cent
Words and Music by Christopher White

If I had a cent, for each hour I spent,
Filling my head with you,
I could buy a new chopper,
And have enough copper,
To make the sea orange, not blue.

If I had a dime, for each moment in time,
That I used up to dream of your face,
I could host a huge dinner,
For all the world’s sinners,
And hire Jesus himself to say grace.

If I had a cent,
Maybe I’d pay the rent.
But I’d probably just sit on the floor,
And think about you some more.

If I had a dollar, for each empty holler,
I threw to the moon in despair,
I could buy the whole planet, but still not command it,
If darling, you too, were not there.

If I had you here,
I wouldn’t need money for cheer,
And the time that I spent putting you in my head,
Would put you in my arms instead.
