(Harvey Fuqua/Johnny Bristol/Vernon Bullock)



(with Tammi 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
