I Have Been Around The World Lyrics

Dar Williams I Have Been Around The World

Well you make my coffee, and it’s only 3am, but soon I’m going on my way
And my time is almost up, I hold my coffee cup, we sit with nothing left to say
And I know that soon I will be touching down
In a shining city or a mountain town
I have been around the world, but all that I can see
Are these moments that we have, you’re all the world to me
Well there’s always laughter, and the parties after, and the fond farewell will before I go
Leaving town, the window panes they flash like movie frames, the last scene in a picture show
But I know that I am not alone and you are the one that I can tell my stories to

I have been around the world, there’s so much there to see
And the story never ends you’re all the world to me
Then I know there are times you think I’ve lost my way, but there is no way this can be true
Cause when I’m walking through, the door I look for you, you’re all I’m looking for
And it’s truer now then it’s ever been and the lucky one that love has taken in
I have been around the world from sea to shining sea,
I wish that you were here. You’re all the world to me
I have been around the world from sea to shining sea
And now I’m heading home, you’re all the world to me
