  • Such a beautiful song by Melody Gardot..both the melody and the lyrics are sooo beautiful..if the stars were mine!!
    **Song licensed by UMG
    If the stars were mine
    I'd give them all to you
    I'd pluck them down right from the sky
    and leave it only blue
    I would never let the sun forget to shine upon your face
    so when others would have rain clouds you'd have only sunny days
    If the stars were mine
    I'd tell you what I'd do
    I'd put the stars right in a jar and give 'em all to you
    If the birds were mine
    I'd tell them when to sing
    I'd make them sing a sonnet when your telephone would ring
    I would put them there inside the square, whenever you went out
    so there'd always be sweet music whenever you would walk about
    If the birds were mine
    I'd tell you what I'd do
    I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
    I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
    If the world was mine
    I'd paint it gold and green
    I'd make the oceans orange for a brilliant color scheme
    I would color all the mountains, make the sky forever blue
    So the world would be a painting and I'd live inside with you
    If the world was mine
    I'd tell you what I'd do
    I'd wrap the world in ribbons and then give it all to you
    I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
    I'd put those stars right in a jar...and..........
    give them all...to you.......

    NO the kids at the end don't spoil the song ,it makes it! The song is about wishful thinking and what you'd like to do for the love of your life Then you have kids that squabble and fight, so you give them a clip round the ear,which is what you hear at the end of the song. Priceless!
    Alternatively...... you have a big sister that thinks she's a pop star and you spoil the recording for her.You decide the reason why the ending.........it's your choice and it definitely doesn't spoil it.

    I love Melody's voice because it isn't forced. So many singers press and push and strain, which is not what this instrument is meant to do. Her voice is naturally beautiful, light, smooth--perfect. Don't change a thing, Melody. I want to hear you for many years to come.

    Sometimes the woman
    And all those in between
    The hopeful youth
    The broken teen
    The Wonder Woman
    And then there are
    Those times
    I hear you sigh

    To a rare lovely lady whose beauty is present in all seasons
    I tell you why Melody you are beautiful and here are the reasons:
    Your beauty extends into the heavens,
    It goes on forever and never lessens.
    Even when the clouds heighten
    You are here and the world brightens.
    You are like a fruit that constantly ripens
    Your beauty continues to grow no matter what happens.
    Your beauty seems to increase with every breathes
    It tests the limits my imagination can stretch.
    It makes me question if what I am seeing is real
    I only know it is true,
    because everything you do is so surreal.
    Your beauty is so vast it can't be concealed
    There is no hiding it, your beauty is always revealed.
    The power of your beauty is the world's greatest gift
    The heaviest boulder it could easily lift.
    A rare lady this perfect as angels never knew
    all that changed the moment beauty met you.
    Heaven on earth smiles that beauty was aware
    and was crafted with such care.
    Your beautiful light is something
    so rare with beauty to spare.
    How do I see your divine beauty within thee?
    Let me feel the ways of harmony.
    I see thee to the depth of eternity,
    feel the breath of fresh air and the height of time with every day being in ecstasy.

I believe that sad songs help us out when we feel down, so I may recommend you some of my favorites:
      Chet Baker - Almost Blue
      Joshua Redman - Sweet Sorrow, Faith, Neverend
      Miles Davis - Blue In Green
      Force of Nature - Just Forget
      Dexter Gordon - Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
      I wish you the best!
