You’re All the World to Me Lyrics
(Verse)
Everywhere that beauty glows you are
Everywhere an orchid grows you are
Everything that's young and gay
Brighter than a holiday
Everywhere the angels play you are
(Chorus)
You're like Paris in April and May
You're New York on a silvery day
A Swiss Alp as the sun grows fainter
You're Loch Lomond when autumn is the painter
You're moonlight on a night in Capri
And Cape Cod looking out at the sea
You're all places that leave me breathless
And no wonder, you're all the world to me
(dance break)
(Chorus 2)
You're Lake Como when dawn is aglow
You're Sun Valley right after a snow
A museum, a Persian palace
You're my shining Aurora Borealis
You're like Christmas at home by a tree
The blue calm of a tropical sea
You're all places that leave me breathless
And no wonder, you're all the world to me
