I have heard this song a million times--and i have never been moved to tears until this beautiful version--Miss Laine you are the one and only DIVA!!!!
My music theory teacher from UC Santa Barbara turned us on to Cleo in the 70's. I saw her twice and was knocked out both times. Don't be fooled by the delicate demeanor-she can get down with the blues as well. An all time favorite singer of mine-jazzbaby
Another example of the superb musical talents of Cleo. Incomparable and still as good as ever in her 80s. Have you heard the excellent My Funny Valentine with Laurie Holloway on piano?
"If" If a picture paints a thousand words Then why can't I paint you? The words will never show The you I've come to know If a face could launch a thousand ships Then where am I to go? There's no one home but you You're all that's left me too And when my love for life is running dry You come and pour yourself on me If a man could be two places at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today Beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving Spinning slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you And when the world was through Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and I would simply fly away
The most talented and gifted Jazz Singer to be found!.Why! Why? can America not see this Lass for how delightful she is!!

Some of us Americans know and love her. Her voice is unique and beautiful.
I certainly do! She's such a talented artist.
A timeless love song performed by one of the greatest singers of our time! John Williams' guitar accompaniment is hauntingly beautiful.

"If"
If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show
The you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away
amazing, beautifull song

my husbands loves this song.
My favorite diva making love to my favorite song of all time. melting in pure bliss listening to the voice of an angel!
I believe it was the band Bread with David Gates.
Wonderful! Perfect accompaniment! I wonder if the guitar arrangement was done by John Dankworth?
John william
Why can I not find this song anywhere!?
Where can I find an MP3 of this wonderful arrangement?
Anyone know who wrote this song?
I'm on
And full name of song ?
"If"
@@another_bites_the_crust_pizza Thanks, I would like have this arrange
@ The original is sung by a band called bread
Williams is probably the finest arranger of guitar music that's ever lived and he never publishes anything. Quite selfish really.
Please has anyone sheets on this ?
