Lyrics
Close the door, light the light
We’re stayin’ home tonight
Far away from the bustle and the bright city lights
Let them all fade away, just leave us alone
And we’ll live in a world of our ownWe’ll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we’ll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find, there’ll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our ownOh my love, oh my love, I’ve cried for you so much
Lonely nights without sleeping while I longed for your touch
Now your lips can’t evade the heartache I’ve known
Come with me to a world of our ownWe’ll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we’ll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find, there’ll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
And I know you will find, there’ll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own
