If I Were ~ A relaxing bedtime Song by Bryant Oden
If I Were (an older version was called The Whistle Song) is a relaxing bedtime song or lullaby, or just a soothing “mellowing out” anytime song for kids. I didn’t really plan it to be that way, but once we added the flute, it took on a pretty, soothing quality I really liked. The song is on the CD Songdrops 3. Here are the audio and Youtube video of the song:
Song by Bryant Oden
Much thanks to Danae Shanti for the background vocals and Rick D. Lewis, of CrankItUp studios, for the lovely flute.
Here are the lyrics and chords to If I Were (formally The Whistle Song).
If I Were: Words and guitar tabs
C G F C
If I were a tree I’d be pleased with me
F C F G
Living and giving so others could be
C G F C
If I were a deer, I’d feel pride sincere
F C F G C
Knowing that no one’s as graceful as me
If I were a bear I’d love a good scare
You better not touch I don’t mind if you stare
If I were a fish I’d laugh at the wish
Of people to breathe without air
If I were a whale with a splash of me tale
I’d make a wave that would make pirates pale
If I were a frog I’d sit high on a log
And sing all the tadpoles some mighty tall tales
