"If" 是David A. Gates 在1971年填詞譜曲的歌，他是1970年代早期相當受到歡迎的熱門搖滾團體-麵包合唱團（Bread）的主唱兼吉他手、鋼琴手及歌曲創作人，這首單曲在1971年一經麵包合唱團推出（收錄在Bread的第三張專輯Manna 中）隨即獲得了美國告示牌百大熱門單曲（Billboard Hot 100）排行的第四名，很快地也被許多歌手爭相翻唱（像是 Jack Jones, Perry Como 和 Telly Savalas），其中 Telly Savalas 的版本更在1975年3月份獲得了英國單曲榜（UK singles chart）冠軍達2週之久。此外，如果您是熱衷流音的六年級朋友，應該會記得周葆元（LA Boys 的朋友）在剛出道時也曾翻唱過這首歌，火紅了"一陣子"。"If" 是一首慢版動人的抒情歌謠，從發行至今，經年累月還能在國外的婚禮上（作為第一支舞的歌曲 ）被聽到，足以證明其永恆不滅的魅力。猶記當年學習吉他時，該曲總會在各大吉他教本中履履出現，主因於歌曲在吉他和弦的貝斯音旋律聲線（Bass Line）的編排進行是相當出色又好聽的基楚範本。
If a man could be two places at one time, I"d be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I"d spend the end with you.And when the world was through.
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
and you and I would simply fly away.
If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can"t I paint you?
The words will never show.the you I"ve come to know.
if a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There"s no one home but you,You"re all that"s left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.
If a man could be two places at one time, I"d be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I"d spend the end with you.And when the world was through.
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
and you and I would simply fly away.
