Tony Bennett - If I Ruled The World Lyrics
If I ruled the world,
Every 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,
Every man would be as free as a bird,
Every 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 its 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
Every 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,
Every man would be as free as a bird,
Every 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 its 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

Esta canción es muy difícil de encontrar, es un tesoro perdido
Передам привет своей .... если она это слышит.эти стихи все для тебя.всего лишь слова...
Great, thank you, America
A song for our time! Every time. A visionary song. Am so moved!
The Greatest Lyrics ever written
TB is a notable humanitarian with a positive message in his inspiring music. Essential advice to aspiring musicians and songwriters known by all the greats from Tony B. To James Brown.
There would be happiness that no one could end .
Listen to these words. What a singer and song. If a regular man could come up with these words, couldn't The Almighty with all their infinite wisdom come up with a world like this? Evil could be wiped out and goodness would prevail.
what a voice legend singer
How can someone fucking dislike this?!??
If they would just listen to the words of his music
I remember my dad told me that he used to sing this to me when I was just months old and me now at 14 years old I still remember it, but now there’s ignorant people that don’t enjoy listening to this type of music if they would just listen to words his music
Admit it, we're all here from Bruce Almighty.
yeah pretty much
This takes me back to time I got a glimpse of, and the time my dad talks about. Imho, the second half of the last century was the time when everything made sense and was at its peak... music, art, movies, people... This song should be played in space once they find a way to transmit sound up there...
He sings it better now.
“If those things are everywhere, We’re dead”
Wonderful song thank you for this masterpiece Mr Bennett
RIP TONY
Tony Bennett is still alive and well .
first time i heard this song was in the movie "war of the worlds" so whenever i hear it, all i can think of is the cold and ominous scene at the docks.
Absolutely beautiful!
Tony is the best!
My Dad didn't sing often but when he did, this was one of his songs. We played this recording at his funeral.
IT don't get much better than is Tony the Master.
Yes. Brilliant. Very grateful.
What style of music is ??
Has there ever been something more perfect?
"Grace! I got anchor"
"lolok im stupid"
Tony sings on Facebook at: Friends of Tony Bennett
Grace, I got anchor! Oh Bruce Almighty showed me this song, great film by the way!
Free world
War of the Worlds brought me here and this is such a memorable classic!
It's Cyril Ornandel not Cyril Orander, Paulo.
“...Hi Susan!”
A wonderful song , beautifully sung by Tony Bennett . Please also give credit to its composers , Cyril Ornadel and Leslie Bricusse , without whom , there would be no song to sing !
Ward of the worlds
Jamie Callum brought ME here, because of his cover of this.
I feel so blessed that I was able to see this man live. I remember that he stayed to the right of the stage after his performance and shook the hand of anyone who wanted to meet him. You don't see many performers who would do this today.
If I ruled the world,
Every 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 rule the world sung so calmly which could have been much more calmer than ruling the world calmly

I loved this man when a kid and he reminds me of a white Barry White! I say this because they both seemed like they were speaking rather than singing and well understood! lol
Happy End of the World to everybody!!
It was a hit in spring 1965.
My absolute favorite version of this song!!

Guess I'm the only one who got here because of Lorne in Angel.

Grandissimo!!
Unbelievable! What a totally gorgeous voice Tony Bennett has. I've known him all my life and he's never, ever delivered a song that was anything less than absolutely top quality. He really is a true legend!

That's what made this song so creepy in War Of The Worlds.
Just some calming music while a tripod crawls over the hills
A REAL SINGER MAN YEEEP
Anybody but maybe Frank better than Tony? An absolute beauty!!!
love this song.
Glen Campbell had recorded a nice up-tempo version of this number for his Goodtime Hour show. It was a 1970 show, and you can find it, here, on YouTube. Always loved Tony's version!
JuneIsMyMonth!
He will be missed 🙁
"Grace... I got anchor!"
that,s a Singer man .
what a voice legend singer
i'm personally going to hunt down and find the '5 dislike' guys and pistol whip them
roger1744 now there's 18 of them
I'm one of them, whachu gonna do
Right on Roger 1744! They need to be thinned out of herd!
By now it's 28
Get a tommy gun, there’s 29 dislikers
5 dislikes really? 5 people don't know real music.
all sinatra fans
No they are all NAS fans who get this song mixed up with that terrible rap song that is a rip-off of this
I've been listening to this song since the 1960's. Now it makes me sad.
Excellent selections...and I would add Johnny Mathis , Dinah Washington, Shirley Bassey and Nancy Wilson.

for everyone
If every Temple Church Mosque and classroom and household displayed the Commandments we could all be living in Paradise on Earth!
Dorie
no we wouldn't religion is a huge cause of division.
Every synagogue (temple) displays the Commandments.
Wacky Bruce!
what if it was raining on the first day of spring ya would want to live that day every day
Spielberg's War of the Worlds! :D
same here
pkmovies92 I've been searching for this song since i wotw came out, now its 2018 and i finally found it
What happened to this world? Its sad so sad.
Too many people thought they could rule the world.
@BellicIV many things have changed wtf are you'll talking abt ?
Joe David I’m saying that people haven’t changed. War has always existed since the beginning of mankind. I’m not talking about technology, skyscrapers, cars, etc.
Frank it isn't the world, it's the kind of people in it
Treasure EVERY day this Artist/Human being is here amongst us mere mortals God Bless you Tony
I love esta rola
Jamie Cullum brought me here.
My classmates think i am a total idiot for liking old REAL songs.. But i am willing to be an "idiot" if i will hear or even sing this kind of songs everyday..
You can't help it if you have good taste in music, and they don't!
alicia matibag Not alone.
Continua pure Tony, sei un grande!! (Bruce Nolan - Una settimana da Dio)
Awesome song and that's the way the cookie crumbles.
yes,the song was used in the movie "war of the worlds" during the ferry scene. kinda scary.
This song sends chills up and down my spine, every time!
Glorious grandiose arrangement, beautiful melody and such true lyrics. Plus the amazing vocal versatility and honesty of the great Tony Bennett. What more could you ask for? PERFECTION!!!!
