歌詞如下:
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 to.
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
倘若畫能表達千言萬語
為什麼我畫不出你？
千言萬語
也表達不出我了解的你？
如果我能登上千萬條船遠航
那么我將去往何處？
除了你，我別無歸屬
你就是我僅有的一切
當我對生活的熱情燃盡
你來到將自己融進我的世界
如果一個人能分身兩地
我也只願和你依偎
一個在今時，一個在將來
都要與你廝守
倘若世界停止了轉動
等待著毀滅
我將與你共度末日
當一切都成了灰燼
星辰一顆顆地隕落
我們將一起遠走高飛
後有眾多翻唱版本，如著名愛爾蘭男子組合Westlife（西城男孩，又譯西域男孩），曾演唱if，並收入專輯《The love album》中。
