see what you lost when you left this world

this sweet old world

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 arm

didn't you think you were worth anything

see what you lost when you left this world

this sweet old world

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

what you lost when you left this world

this sweet old world
