If I were you, what would I do?
\nI’d enjoy every day of my stay
\nOn this campus of Brigham Young U.
\nIf I were you, what would I do?
\nI’d drink of the nectar of knowledge,
\nA great, full draft of its richest brew.
\nIf I were you, what would I do?
\nI’d walk humbly with God and my Savior, too.
\nIf I were you, what would I do?
\nI’d fall in love with a girl named Sue,
\nOr a boy named Lou,
\nAnd plan for the day we’d be married,
\nWe two.
\nIf I were you, what would I do?
\nI’d live with my love with integrity true–
\nAnd welcome our children, many or few.
\nIf I were you, what would I do?
\nIf courtship and marriage didn’t come through?
\nI’d fret, but I’d say, “There’s no time to stew.
\nGet busy. Find something important to do.
\nBy now I’d just say, “Good-bye and adieu,”
\nWith a prayer in my heart for each one of you.
