Sweet Old World lyrics

See what you lost when you left this world,

This sweet old world.

See what you lost when you left this world,

This sweet old world.

The breath from your own lips,

The touch of fingertips,

A sweet and tender kiss,

The sound of a midnight train,

Wearing someone's ring,

Someone calling your name.

Somebody so warm,

Cradled in your arms.

Didn't you think

You were worth anything

See what you lost when you left this world,

This sweet old world.

See what you lost when you left this world,

This sweet old world.

Millions of us in love,

Promises made good,

Your own flesh and blood,

Looking for some truth,

Dancing with no shoes

The beat, the rhythm, the blues.

The pounding of your heart's drum

Together with another one

Didn't you think

Anyone loved you.

See what you lost when you left this world,

This sweet old world.

See what you lost when you left this world,

This sweet old world.

See what you lost when you left this world,

This sweet old world.

See what you lost when you left this world,

This sweet old world.
