Lyrics
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 loveAnd 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 holdNow 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 holdNow over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love meOver and over I keep going over the world we knew
