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
