Lyrics
I remembered it all
That magical moment I'll never forget
We started to fall
Higher and higher in love than I thought I could get
It was so hard to find someone
And then I found you
What in the world would I do
Living in a world without you?
Me and the sky would be blue
Bluer than I ever knew
The sun will shine
But there'll be no light
And nothing to look forward to
In a world without you
Just you and I
Passionate lovers forever this time
Our hearts couldn't lie
Never say never whenever you don't want to try
Sometimes it's hard
But we'll get through
We always have, we always do
What it world would I do
What in the world would I do
Living in a world without you?
Me and the sky would be blue
Bluer than I ever knew
The sun will shine
But there'll be no light
And nothing to look forward to
In a world without you
Being in love, letting our feelings show
Let 'em show
(Let 'em show)
Let me tell you again what you already know
Yeah
What in the world would I do
(Would I do)
Living in a world without you?
(Without you)
Me and the sky would be blue
(Will be blue)
Bluer than I ever knew
(I ever knew)
The sun will shine but there'll be no light
(No light)
And nothing to look forward to
In a world without you
