Analysis of If, If, If...



If I could make a dream come true,
I know what it would be;
To spend each day with only you
Throughout eternity!

If I could choose the perfect mate,
I'd choose you VERY fast.
There's no chance I would hesitate.
My love will always last!

And so, if I thought deep and strong
How love so quickly grew,
I'd never eat or sleep too long.
Since I'm in love with you!
