  • [Chorus:]
    If the world would end today
    All the dreams we had would all just drift away
    You know there's nothing more to say
    If the world would end would our love slip away

    I never knew the way that you looked at me
    Would ever mean so much to me
    In my heart I found the feelings that I've never shown
    Now they've got the best of me

    [Chorus:]

    I never thought all the love I was looking for
    Could ever be so close to me
    Your the only one that I've ever loved that has ever loved me
    And now you've got the best of me

    If the world would end today
    All the dreams we had would all just drift away
    You know there's nothing more to say
