(Vince Gill/Bob DiPiero)



There's nothing quite as lonely

As a sky that turns to gray

Or a love that just starts dyin'

And slowly fades away



You were my best companion

Now we lie silent in the dark

Why do you and me have to be worlds apart



There's nothing quite as empty

As when children go away

And all that's left are memories

Of all those yesterdays



You can't understand the feeling

'Til it finds its way to your heart

Why do you and me have to be worlds apart



There's nothing quite as ugly

As two people full of hate

We'll all end up as equals

When we stand at heaven's gate



Love is still the answer

It's the only place to start

Why do you and me have to be worlds apart



Love is still the answer

It's the only place to start

Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
