Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who can turn the world on with her smile
Who can take a nothing day
and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile
Well it's you girl and you should know it
with each glance and every little movement you show it
Love is all around no need to waste it
You can have the town why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you , and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all
How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all
