Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Every face Even the one you saw yesterday It looks different today Cos everything's changed since yesterday In every possible way Things seem different today Not like yesterday Is consideration More like an exception - of consideration? Cos you have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms? When you're secure, do you feel much safer? As days never change, and it's three years later It's like your life hasn't changed, And it's three years late So how does it feel, to be three years late? And watching your youth drift away What seems different, seems different today And what seems different, seems different today Is consideration More like an exception - of consideration? Cos you have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms? You have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms? (tonight...) (tonight...) Cos you have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms? Cos you have the world in your arms tonight And what if you held the world in your arms?
