The World We Knew (Over And Over)

Frank Sinatra · World We Knew [1999]

Over and over I keep going over the world we knew

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
