A Different World
The Four Tops · Other Songs - The Four Tops
In this world of ups & downs
My dreams all fall through
Things just don't work out
No matter what I do
Disappointment haunts me
Through each lonely day
The world around I see
In only shades of gray
But when the lovelight shines upon my face
I'm in a different world
A world I never knew
I'm in a different world
A world so sweet & true
I'm in a different world
I'm no longer just another face
In a crowd
Hey, look into my eyes
You'll see I'm strong & I'm proud
You are all the sweetness
Of my life you see
You have brought heaven
Right here on earth to me
No man of wealth
I know I'll ever be
But I'll be satisfied
Just knowing you love me
On the stage of life
I've played a losers part
It seems like I've been down
Right from the very start
Everytime I lift myself
Up off the ground
Something always happens
To bring the curtain down
But when your lovelight shines upon my face
I'm in a different world
A world so warm & sweet
I'm in a different world
Now that you've been loving me
I'm in a different world
Each time you speak my name
Or put your hand in mine
The empty life I knew
I leave it far behind
'Cause you gave me the love
That I truly felt
Most of all, you made me
Believe in myself
You're more than a love to me
You're my way of life
I'll forever cherish you
More each day & night
Ahhhhh..........
I'm in a different world....
A world that's warm
A world that's sweet
A world that's every bit complete
A world that's real you've made me see
All the beauty surrounding me
Ahh look what you've done for me
Ahh look what you've done for me
I'm in a different world
Now that you've been loving me
I'm in a different world
& that's where I want to be
I'm in a different world
Now that you've been loving me
I'm in a different world
(& thats where I want to be)
It's in a different world
Now that you've been loving me
My dreams all fall through
Things just don't work out
No matter what I do
Disappointment haunts me
Through each lonely day
The world around I see
In only shades of gray
But when the lovelight shines upon my face
I'm in a different world
A world I never knew
I'm in a different world
A world so sweet & true
I'm in a different world
I'm no longer just another face
In a crowd
Hey, look into my eyes
You'll see I'm strong & I'm proud
You are all the sweetness
Of my life you see
You have brought heaven
Right here on earth to me
No man of wealth
I know I'll ever be
But I'll be satisfied
Just knowing you love me
On the stage of life
I've played a losers part
It seems like I've been down
Right from the very start
Everytime I lift myself
Up off the ground
Something always happens
To bring the curtain down
But when your lovelight shines upon my face
I'm in a different world
A world so warm & sweet
I'm in a different world
Now that you've been loving me
I'm in a different world
Each time you speak my name
Or put your hand in mine
The empty life I knew
I leave it far behind
'Cause you gave me the love
That I truly felt
Most of all, you made me
Believe in myself
You're more than a love to me
You're my way of life
I'll forever cherish you
More each day & night
Ahhhhh..........
I'm in a different world....
A world that's warm
A world that's sweet
A world that's every bit complete
A world that's real you've made me see
All the beauty surrounding me
Ahh look what you've done for me
Ahh look what you've done for me
I'm in a different world
Now that you've been loving me
I'm in a different world
& that's where I want to be
I'm in a different world
Now that you've been loving me
I'm in a different world
(& thats where I want to be)
It's in a different world
Now that you've been loving me
