IF I RULED THE WORLD

Tony Bennett

Words by Leslie Bricusse/Music by Cyril Ornadel

 

If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring

Every heart would have a new song to sing

And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring

 

If I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird,

Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard

Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred

 

My world would be a beautiful place

Where we would weave such wonderful dreams

My world would wear a smile on its face

Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams

If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend

There'd be happiness that no man coud end

No my friend, not if I ruled the world

Every head would be held up high

There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky

If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world

Isn't it a cover?

I'm not positive if it's a cover, but I'd presume :unsure:

Goodrem's star turn

 

11jul06

DELTA Goodrem is making herself known to the right people. As she tries to break into the American market, entertainer Tony Bennett has commandeered the young starlet to contribute to his all-star duets album.

 

Bono, Elton John, George Michael, k.d. lang, Sting and Billy Joel have also recorded tracks.

 

Bennett has chosen to record the song If I Ruled the World with Goodrem, who will then fly home to spend time with family and work on her album.

It's a standard. Tony's original versions on "The Essential Tony Bennett" CD2 track 2. Sarah Vaughan (jazz Diva) also had a hit with it.

 

The motivation behind the album is duet versions of songs that shaped Tony Bennett's career. So Delta was hardly likely to be asked to come up with a new song.

 

Bennett's best known songs are "I left my heart in San Francisco" and "Rags to Riches". The duet Delta should have sung with Tony is "Just in time", the first line is-

"I was lying, comfortably, face-down in the gutter"

Just imagine that.lol
