Worlds Apart

“I see the same stars through my window
You see through yours
But we’re worlds apart
Worlds apart

I see the same sky through brown eyes
That you see through blue
But we’re worlds apart, worlds apart

Just like the earth
Just like the sun
Two worlds together are better than one
I see the sunrise in your eyes
That you see in mine
But we’re worlds apart, worlds apart

I see the same stars through my window
You see through yours
But we’re worlds apart, worlds apart

And you see the same sky through brown eyes
That I see through blue
But we’re worlds apart, worlds apart

Just like the earth
Just like the sun
Two worlds together are better than one

I see the friendship in your eyes
That you see in mine
But we’re worlds apart, worlds apart
Together but worlds apart

And a mockingbird sings in the ol’ yonder tree
Twaddle-ee ah dee dee dah-dee dee dee”
