V1
I’m saddled with the duty of writing songs about true love
It’s something that composers ought to do
My heart is young, though not in years, but I see love through a lens of fear
It’s hard to tell a falsehood from what’s true
V2
I recognize the sputtering of broken hearts when they take wing
They need the strength of two where there’s just one
I’ve seen the shot off Cupid’s bow miss its mark and crash below my feet
I gaze ahead and I walk on

Chorus
World don’t perish, sky don’t fall until I’m with the one I love
World don’t perish, sky don’t fall on me
World don’t perish, sky don’t fall until I’m with the one I love
World don’t perish, sky don’t fall on me
V3
I notice that you’re generous, you heal my heart with tenderness
And my imagination starts to run
But in the club of lonely hearts I am a patron of the art
And I know how this ends before it’s done (chorus)
V4
I dreamed we shared a moment where you drew me in, caressed my hair
And whispered softly in a dulcet tone
I close my eyes as if it’s mine to feel that tenderness one time again
My eyes flash open, I’m alone
