If I Could Build My Whole World Around You Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell M: If I could build my whole world around you, darlin' First I'd put heaven by your side Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey And over your head would be the bluest sky And I'd take every drop of rain And wash all your troubles away I'd have the whole world built around you And that would be all right, oh yes it would T: If I could build my whole world around you I'd make your eyes the morning sun I'd put so much love where there is sorrow I'd put joy where there's never been love And I'd give my love to you To keep for the rest of your life And happiness would surely be ours And that would be all right, oh yes it would BOTH: Doo doo doo doo... M: Oh, if I could build my whole world around you I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess T: And I'd step into this world you've created And give you true love and tenderness And there'd be something new with every tomorrow To make this world better as days go by (repeat and fade): M: If I could build my whole world around you T: If I could build my whole world around you BOTH: Then that would be all right, oh yeah
