Sweet Old World (2007 Remastered Album Version)
Emmylou Harris
Sweet Old World
See what you lost when you left this world,
this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world,
this sweet old world
The breath from your own lips,
the touch of fingertips
A sweet and tender kiss
The sound of a midnight train,
wearing someones ring
Someone calling your name
Somebody so warm cradled in your arm
Didnt you think you were worth anything
See what you lost when you left this world,
this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world,
this sweet old world
Millions of us in love,
promises made good
Your own flesh and blood
Looking for some truth,
dancing with no shoes
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
The pounding of your hearts drum
together with another one
Didnt you think anyone loved you
See what you lost when you left this world,
this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world,
this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world,
this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world,
this sweet old world
