If I Could Build My Whole World Around You lyrics

Duet with Tammie Terrell

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
