Some fun, good vibes. Something that my granddaughter would like!

Lyrics

If Only

I’m thinkin’ if I only had a dog...
I’d throw a ball the best that I know how...
Or maybe, instead I’d throw a stick...
I’m sure, old Fido’d bring it to me quick.
We’d run around the park until it got so dark...
Then go on home to eat some sup... what’s up?
Yeah, if I only had a dog...
Be as happy as a turtle on a log.

If I only knew how to fly...
I could find out what’s up there in the sky.
I’d discover many things from way up there...
Many things I know that I could share.
If Fido could fly, too... we’d be quite a crew...
Superheroes from up above, such love.
Yeah, if I only knew how to fly...
Maybe then I wouldn’t be so shy.

It's impossible to listen to this without smiling. Great country song

Awe this is sweet. My kids would like this too (hopefully I remember to let them listen to it after I get home from work). I love that line “eat some sup, what’s up”. If you ever added percussion I could totally hear a big wobbly bass drum in there

This is fun. I love the “downhome” musical track and the casual, country storytelling vocals. Works for a listener of any age, in my opinion. Very sweet instrumental interlude and final few lines.
