A World So Full of Love

Faron Young · Complete Capitol Hits [Bear Family] [2000]

(Roger Miller - Faron Young)



I know how it feels to be alive with no desire to live

I know how it feels to never take and always have to give

And the day I found out was on the day you let me down

In this world so full of love with not enough to go around.



--- Instrumental ---



I was once so proud to have your love that I could burst with pride

But you took that away and now I'm breaking up inside

It's enough to make me wish that I could hide and not be found

In this world so full of love with not enough to go around.



--- Instrumental ---



For days and nights I wonder and the reason I can't find

There's so much love around me and no love to call mine

It's enough to make me wish that I could hide and not be found

In this world so full of love yet not enough to go around...
