You're the only world I know, 
You're the one I can't let go, 
You're the laughter and my tears, 
And I'll love you all my years. 
You're the beating of my heart, 
You're my thoughts when we're  apart, 
You're the one I can't let go, 
You're the only, only world I know.
You're my night time and my day, 
You're my one love all the way, 
You're the one I can't let go, 
You're the only, only world I know.
