All over the world People must meet and part There's someone like me Feeling a pain in their heart Some may meet again Under that same bright star If maybe some night You come back from afar Who cares if tonight I don't know where you are Are you thinking of me now Missing having me around If you have forgotten me My world will come tumbling down All over the world Others are sad tonight There's someone like me Watching the sun's fading light All over the sky There is the same warm glow Here under that star I'm wanting you to know Wherever you are That I still love you so
