1492 Songtext
von Betty Johnson

If you were Chris Columbus back in 1492
America might be discovered, but not by you
You′d never sail across the sea to change the world's geography
You′d stay right there close to me in 1492

If you were Paul Revere way back in 1776
A love like ours might put the country in a fix
That horse of yours would still be tied
You'd never take that midnight ride
I'd be cuddling by your side in 1776


If I were Mrs. Bell we′d need no telephone at all
′Cause I can't hug you baby on a long distance call
If I were Mrs. Franklin you′d throw away your kite
'Cause my oh my how the sparks would fly when I kissed you every night

If you should build a rocket ship to fly up through the blue
Someone else can be the pilot, no not you
No matter what the age or time
I′d be yours and you'd be mine
In 1999 or 1492

If you should build a rocket ship to fly up through the blue
Well someone else can be the pilot, no not you
No matter what the age or time
I′d be yours and you'd be mine
In 1999 or 1492
