Yoakam, Dwight - Waterfall Lyrics






If I had a waterfall
We wouldn't wonder, not at all
How much fun each day was gonna be

If I had a mountain top
I know we would never stop
Climbing way high up to look and see

If I had a jellyfish
I betcha we would never miss
A single peanut butter kiss or squeeze

If I had a waterfall
It might not make no sense at all
But that won't matter much to you and me

Babies get born, even in a war
I guess just to show us, what livin's for
And my heart still believes that love
For what we need can be enough
If we'll just stop keepin' score

If I had a big giraffe
That tried to dance and made us laugh
Every smile and giggle would be free

If I had a big moonlight
We'd turn it back on every night
Just so the dark could try and get some sleep
And if I had a rocket ship
We'd go places really quick
Then have the time to stop and get ice cream
If I had a big giraffe
He'd have to take a real long bath
And that's why waterfalls are really neat

Babies get born, even in a war
I guess just to show us, what livin's for
And my heart still believes that love
For what we need can be enough
If we'll just stop keepin' score

If I had an everything
We could stand out in the rain
And only feel the drops we wanted to
If I had a wonderful
We could play out in the snow
And never have to wear our socks and shoes
If I had a pot of luck
I wouldn't have to spend a buck
And get all the stuff we needed for a sneeze
If I had an everything
We wouldn't get wet in the rain
And ridin' waterfalls would be a breeze

If I had a big giraffe
He'd have to take a real long bath
And that's why waterfalls are really neat

    Yes water falls and no keeping score

  20. R.... W....

    Love this song

  21. L.... W....

    So many possible influences on this lovely song and yet it's incredibly unique. Whimsical for a bit and then it pulls you back, only to return to whimsy again. You really have to color outside the lines to write something like this and only Dwight could perform it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  22. C.... B....

    Could've done any genre. A major, major artist. Always getting compared to country great, and rightly so, but I don't think there's been more than a handful of recording artists in American music history with this level of versatility; never mind in country music.

  23. P.... M....

    Cuando estoy de "mala leche" subo al coche, pongo a Dwight, conduzco y escucho...

    Greatest ever

  71. F.... N....

    Dumb guys out there, always negative, Dwight is a great and fantastic country and i really enjoy his style of singing and his songs with its music. Always appreciate the talented singers to whom God gave a special gift. So, please dont get so jealous and envious of Dwight and say all sort of rubbish which never fits Dwight. From Malaysia

    F.... N....

    There are millions of people who adore Dwight and who are in awe of his immense musical talent,I am happy to admit That I am just one of those fans,but there is still a myriad of envious people..Envy is a terrible thing

  72. A.... D....

    WATER FALLS, is the most interestIng lyrics Song, I find. makes you hope about it Dwight. Anita

  73. A.... D....

    Waterfalls is a beautifully arranged Song, I like it very much Dwight. Anita

  74. M.... L....

    What a beautiful song and only Dwight Yoakam Can pull off a change in direction in music and still make it work. THREE PAIRS is a magnificent album & every song deserves not only air play but NUMBER 1 ratings. Dwight was Number 1 from the first album he made in the 80s and still is in 2015.

  75. K.... G....

    Ooooo I really like this song! Oh this man can sing!

  76. J.... A....
