Text | |
You're my world you're ev'ry breath i take;
you're my world you're ev'ry move i make. Other eyes see the stars up in the skies; but for me they shine within you're eyes. |
a |
As the trees reach for the sun above,
so my arms reach out to you for love. With your hand resting in mine, I feel a power so divine. |
b |
You‘re my world, you are my night and day; you‘re my world, you‘re every prayer I pray. If our love ceases to be, then it‘s the end of my world for me. |
