La, la, la, la, la, la There ain't nothing in this world I couldn't do La, la, la, la, la, la My dreams would all come true if I had you I'm just a lonely boy in a great big lonely world Someone like you could make my dreams come true Then all the mountains I could climb If you'd just put your hand in mine There ain't nothing in the world I couldn't do You can make a rainy day sunny in my mind You make the world seem like a friend to me Yeah, there ain't nothing I couldn't do If you were there to see me through And I loved you and knew that you loved me I would feel ten feet tall if you were at my side Three ain't nothing in this world I couldn't do Kings would give up thrones to be In love for just one hour like me And that's the way I'd feel if I had you
