Sun came up on my street today You sleep 10,000 miles away And the world turns round We found love in a foreign land Won my heart, when you took my hand And you layed me down And the world turned round Now we send love down long distance lines Talk for hours and curse the time Like in Dublin town Where the world turned round And there were those who came before us Rising like a critics chorus Trying to tell us those two days Were one night stands From Denmark to California Come friendly words "Just trying to warn ya These things rarely turn out like you planned" But we took the risk, just like when we began And New York City the place we'd meet We'd hold hands down November streets Then we both backed down And the world turned round Now I've known lovers and relations Like my own United Nations Trying to tell me to find someone close to home But this life I chose means travel And as the miles unravels I've learned to take my loving when it shows But it hurt me just that same to watch you go Now it's late December and looks like rain My heart keeps singing the same refrain What's she doing now? As the world turns round
