Build My World Around You
Slim Smith & The Uniques Lyrics

(boy) if I could build my whole world around you,
If I could mold everything in the world specifically for you

Darling, first I'd put heaven by your side.
I would create paradise right next to you

Pretty flowers would grow where ever you walk, honey,
Flowers would spring up wherever you stepped

And over your head would be the bluest sky.
I would give you the most beautiful sky imaginable above you

Then I'd take ev'ry drop of rain, and wash all your troubles away.
I would cleanse you of all your problems and sorrows with each drop of rainfall

I'd have the whole world wrapped up in you, darling,
You would be the center of my universe

And that would be alright.
And I would be content with just that

(girl) if I could build my whole world around you,
If I could shape everything in the world according to your desires

I'd make your eyes the morning sun.
Your eyes would be the source of warmth and light like the sun

I'd put so much love where there is sorrow,
Love would fill any void where sadness once resided

I'd put joy where there's never been none.
Happiness would permeate areas that never experienced it before

Then I'd give my love to you,
I would shower you with my love

For you to keep for the rest of your life.
And you would have my love forever

And happiness would surely be ours,
Together we would experience true happiness

And that would be alright.
And that would be enough for us

(boy) if I could build my whole world around you,
If I could make the world centered on you

I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess.
The most precious gift any woman could receive

(girl) and I'd step into this world you created,
I would enter the world you made for us

And give you a true love and tenderness.
And I would return your love with my own affection and kindness

And there'd be something new with ev'ry tomorrow
We would experience something fresh and exciting each day

To make this world better as days go by.
And as time passed, our world would continue to improve

(both) that would be all right. oh yeah
And we would be happy with just that. Oh yeah.

(boy) that is if I could build my whole world around you.
However, if it were possible for me to make the world revolve around you

(girl) if I could build my whole world around you,
And if it were possible for me to shape the world to your liking

(both) that would be all right. Oh yeah
We would be fulfilled with that alone. Oh yeah.
