there's nothing quite as lonely
as the sky that turns to gray
or a love that just starts dying
and slowly fades away
you were my best friend
now we lie silent in the dark
why do you and me have to be worlds apart
there's nothing quite as empty
as when children go away
and all that's left are memories
of all those yesterdays
you can't understand the feeling
till it finds it's way to your heart
why do you and me have to be worlds apart
oh there's nothing quite as ugly
as two people full of hate
we'll all end up as equal
when we stand at heaven's gate
oh love is still the answer
it's the only place to start
why do you and me have to be worlds apart
oh love is still the answer
it's the only place to start
why do you and me have to be worlds apart
