IF YOU GOT IT
Gordon Lightfoot 1967



If you got it
Don't lose it girl
It's got to be
The one creative thing
That's left for you and me.

If you find it
Don't lose it all
The very next day
Lock it in your soul
And throw the key away.

So, don't you let it go
Let it stay, let it grow
Like the snow
Don't let it melt away.

If you find it
Then give it girl
With all your might
Forget about yourself
You're not the losing kind.

If you get it
Then keep it cool
Don't let it die
You may only see it once
Don't let it pass you by.

So, don't you let it go
Let it stay, let it grow
Like the snow
Don't let it melt away.

If you find it
Then give it girl
With all your might
Forget about yourself
You're not the losing kind.

If you get it
Then keep it cool
Don't let it die
You may only see it once,
Don't let it pass you by.

Pass you by, don't let it die
Don't let it go.
