When Two Worlds Collide
Jim Reeves · The Essential Jim Reeves [RCA Nashville/Legacy] [2006]
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, 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...
