I Let the World Pass Me By

Jim Reeves · Welcome to My World [1996]

I let the world pass me by, when I left you go

I was a fool, so how could I know

That when blue shadows fall, each night I pray

For someone I've loved always, and lost in a day.



I let the world pass me by, the day I lost you

My dreams are the same, but they'll never come true

Where ever you go, I'd like you to know

The world pass me by, when I left you go.



--- Instrumental ---



I let the world pass me by, I was to blind to see

The one thing that mattered, was being stollen from me

Now if I live forever, I know that I

Will always remember, when the world passed me by...
