If The Stars Were Mine - Melody Gardot -

Such a beautiful song by Melody Gardot..both the melody and the lyrics are sooo beautiful..if the stars were mine!!
**Song licensed by UMG
If the stars were mine
I'd give them all to you
I'd pluck them down right from the sky
and leave it only blue
I would never let the sun forget to shine upon your face
so when others would have rain clouds you'd have only sunny days
If the stars were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd put the stars right in a jar and give 'em all to you
If the birds were mine
I'd tell them when to sing
I'd make them sing a sonnet when your telephone would ring
I would put them there inside the square, whenever you went out
so there'd always be sweet music whenever you would walk about
If the birds were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
If the world was mine
I'd paint it gold and green
I'd make the oceans orange for a brilliant color scheme
I would color all the mountains, make the sky forever blue
So the world would be a painting and I'd live inside with you
If the world was mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd wrap the world in ribbons and then give it all to you
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
I'd put those stars right in a jar...and..........
give them all...to you.......

I love Melody's voice because it isn't forced. So many singers press and push and strain, which is not what this instrument is meant to do. Her voice is naturally beautiful, light, smooth--perfect. Don't change a thing, Melody. I want to hear you for many years to come.

[@BenHopkins1000]

She was hit by a car, which is what started her music career via therapy. It's also the reason she sounds the same on ALL her songs...

[@gatofelixriodejaneir]

+BenHopkins1000 Hope you're making lots of Money doing such critics ... in case you are not just a envious person who things that have to criticize everything and everyone for nothing ...

[@BenHopkins1000]

gatofelixriodejaneir Not critiquing, elaborating.

[@gatofelixriodejaneir]

OK. I think got it. She does all the work while you go after elaborating it, right? I think that's something new, a new concept. Would you, please, tell me the name of it?

[@BenHopkins1000]

gatofelixriodejaneir No. To be honest, I like Melody as much as Kylie here. She's beaten the odds, and made something out of herself. She's an inspiration.

[@16Sirens]

Her aura and quality of the vibrations of her voice, just impermeates one's soul ✨️. She is a gift from the heavens 💖 🌠🌠🫂🌙🔆❤️💭

[@BruceJC75]

It's as if her music transports me into the magic of a 1940's romantic movie! It's a true escape for your mind. You just sit back and drift away!

[@mrganeff1512]

hey man you lave are die😣❣

[@adamhcru2008]

I love the lyrics. They're some of the sweetest that I've ever heard in a love song.

[@tomaskoubek5828]

This song knocked me on my knees. So beautifull and the lyrics are just amazing. I had to push back a tear and that is something very rare by me.

[@Renee5322]

Once in my life, I met someone who made me feel the way this song did. I would have given anything to be with him, the stars, the birds, the world, but he got with somebody else. Maybe someday, I will meet someone else who makes me feel the same way. I haven't yet, but maybe someday...

[@larryvelasquez662]

Her voice is heaven.

Wonderful

[@heatherrodgers4448]

Thank you! I’m a lyrics girl.

[@pjmiller8632]

Thanks Ellie! 💗

[@parisbrat]

Some parents would love to impart this song to their small ones. Kids need to know that they are loved, even in a song such as this.

[@seesee3413]

Very sweet thought

[@jay-el-bee]

Ive sang this to my son since he was a baby, he's almost 12 now. ❤

[@kulu_SM]

Wtf how have I not heard this song for ten years of my life this is amazing

[@mereysembay3607]

I love this music and her voice ❤

[@user-st2xf4me4j]

Вот это понимаю джаааааз. Мелоди- просто супеееер !!!!

[@choclinda]

There's nobody like her. She's refreshing in a time when most popular singers are so lacking..... This song in particular is so beautiful and I hope to sing it for my little niece when I next see her. Isn't it just the most uplifting and sweet song ever?

[@bettysilberman6604]

Interesting blend of Brazilian 60s sound, and modern vocal approach. Like it!

[@amitraam1270]

Good catch. And strings sound production adds to that effect .

[@theramedjr.464]

Bosa nova iirc?

[@mwyatt222]

she's an angel.

[@cambriawellness3102]

Melody lives up to her name with a melodious, soft, rhythmic style. Her provacative voice tops the charts. Her songs are so healing and harmonious.

[@TEMAOHI2787]

A Truly, TRULY GLORIOUS voice!! JUST discovered her on the radio singing this song!!! It's like having warm Honey being poured down my back!

[@brittkr]

BEST SONG EVER!!!! Melody Gardot is the coolest jazz singer ever!! :P

[@TheMasonX23]

Oh Melody, I wish the stars were mine so I could do exactly so for you. You have the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, and write the most amazing music.

Melody, 🎵 I've cried half an ocean, so you still have something to paint, Continue to rock my emotion, until my dreams comes to an end

[@8marloes8]

[@enegmatixerebro]

I haven't listened to Melody Gadot in a long time. Such a beautiful voice

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Given all that Melody Gardot has been through, it's a miracle that she's still alive, let alone able to sing.

[@sweetgypsywife]

What a fabulous voice..and an upbeat happy song...makes you feel really on top of the world ...until.....the rumpus at the end!!

[@heronguerra2248]

Wonderful, beautiful, and straight from the heart! Love you Melody!

I went to a concert of Ms. Gardot in Dublin and was blown away-she was fantastic. A brilliant and enduring talent.

[@pjmiller8632]

[@mariebernos5981]

Merveilleuse

[@TCt83067695]

of course you're not the only one lol. i can remember the moments when i started to love it back at the beginning of the year. lovely track. thanks for uploading. definately love this orchestra version as well.

[@GarGri]

NO the kids at the end don't spoil the song ,it makes it! The song is about wishful thinking and what you'd like to do for the love of your life Then you have kids that squabble and fight, so you give them a clip round the ear,which is what you hear at the end of the song. Priceless! Alternatively...... you have a big sister that thinks she's a pop star and you spoil the recording for her.You decide the reason why the ending.........it's your choice and it definitely doesn't spoil it.

[@velascoa333]

Thank you God, for the ability to hear, Thank you for Melody!

[@JeremyCotton33662]

2:49 to end - possibly the best ending to any song ever?

[@jay-el-bee]

I agree! It's magic.
