You're My World Lyrics
Guys 'N' Dolls
Lyrics
You're my world, you're every breath I take
You're my world, you're every move I make
Other eyes see the stars up in the skies but for me they shine within your eyes
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
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
As the trees reach (As the trees reach) for the sun above (For the sun above)
So my arms reach out to you (So my arms reach out to you) for love (For love)
With your hand (With your hand) resting in mine, I feel a power so divine
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, end of my world, end of my world for me
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
World, you are my night and day (Night and day)
You're my world, you're every prayer I pray (I pray)
