1492

If you were Chris Columbus

Back in 1492

America might be discovered

But not by you

You'd never sail across the sea

To change the world's geography

You'd stay right there

Close to me in 1492

If you were Paul Revere

Way back in 1776

A love like ours might

Put the country in a fix

That horse of yours would still be tied

You'd never take that midnight ride

I'd be cuddling by your side in 1776

If I was Mrs. Bell

We'd need no telephone at all

'Cause I can't hug you baby

On a long distance call

If I were Mrs. Franklin

You'd throw away your kite

'Cause my oh my

How the sparks would fly

When I kissed you every night

If you should build a rocketship

To fly up through the blue

Someone else can be the pilot

No not you

No matter what the age or time

I'd be yours and you'd be mine

In nineteen hundred and ninety nine

Or 1492

If you should build a rocketship

To fly up through the blue

Well someone else can be the pilot

No not you

No matter what the age or time

I'd be yours and you'd be mine

In nineteen hundred and ninety nine

Or 1492
