The World We Knew (Over And Over)
Frank Sinatra · Other Songs - Frank Sinatra
Once when you walked beside me
That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew
When we two were in love
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
instrumental-last two lines of first verse
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took, it turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
Over and over I keep going over the world we knew
