Artist/Band: George Jones
Lyrics for Song: When Two Worlds Collide
Lyrics for Album: Heartaches and Tears [1964]



(Written by Roger Miller and Bill Anderson)

George Jones & Margie Singleton



Your world was so different

From mine don't you see

We just couldn't be close

Though we tried.



We both reached for heavens

But ours weren't the same

That's what happens

When two worlds collide.



Your world was made up

Of things sweet and good

My world could never

Fit in, I wish it could.



Two hearts lie in shambles

And oh. how they've cried

That's what happens

When two worlds collide.



--- Instrumental ---



Your world was made up

Of things sweet and good

My world could never

Fit in, wish it could.



Two hearts lie in shambles

And oh, how they've cried

That's what happens

When two worlds collide...
