Well you make my coffee and

It’s only 3 A.M.

But soon I’m going far away.

And my time is almost up,

I hold my coffee cup,

We sit with nothing left to say.

And I know that soon I will be touching down

In a shining city or a mountain town.

I have been around the world,

But all that I can see

Are these moments that we have,

You’re all the world to me.

Well there’s always laughter

And the parties after

And a fond farewell before I go.

Leaving town, the window panes,

They flash like movie frames,

The last scene in a picture show.

But I know that I am not alone and you

Are the one that I can tell my stories to.

I have been around the world,

There’s so much there to see,

And the story never ends,

You’re all the world to me.

And I know there are times you think I’ve lost my way,

But there is no way this can be true

'Cause when I’m walking through

The door I look for you,

You’re all I’m looking for.

And it’s truer now than it’s ever been,

I’m the lucky one that love has taken in,

I have been around the world,

From sea to shining sea,

I wish that you were here,

You’re all the world to me.

I have been around the world,

From sea to shining sea,

And now I’m heading home,

You’re all the world to me.
