Lyrics

[Chorus]
See what you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
[Verse 1]
The breath from your own lips
The touch of fingertips
A sweet and tender kiss
The sound of a midnight train
Wearing someone's ring
Someone calling your name
[PreChorus]
Somebody so warm
Cradled in your arms
Didn't you think you were worth anything?
[Chorus]
See what you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
The pounding of your heart's drum
Together with another one
Didn't you think anyone loved you?
[Chorus]
See what you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
[Chorus]
See what you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
What you lost when you left this world
This sweet old world
