[M:]
|
If I could build my whole world around you, darlin'
|
First I'd put heaven by your side
|
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey
|
And over your head would be the bluest sky
|
And I'd take every drop of rain
|
And wash all your troubles away
|
I'd have the whole world built around you
|
And that would be all right, oh yes it would
|
|
[T:]
|
If I could build my whole world around you
|
I'd make your eyes the morning sun
|
I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
|
I'd put joy where there's never been love
|
And I'd give my love to you
|
To keep for the rest of your life
|
And happiness would surely be ours
|
And that would be all right, oh yes it would
|
|
[Both:] Doo doo doo doo...
|
|
[M:] Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
|
I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess
|
[T:] And I'd step into this world you've created
|
And give you true love and tenderness
|
And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
|
To make this world better as days go by
|
|
[Repeat and fade:]
|
[M:] If I could build my whole world around you
|
[T:] If I could build my whole world around you
|
[Both:] Then that would be all right, oh yeah
