See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
                                                      
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
                                           
The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips
              
A sweet and tender kiss
                                          
The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring
                 
Someone calling your name
                
Somebody so warm cradled in your arm
                             
Didn't you think you were worth anything
                                                  
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
                                                      
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world

SOLO

                               
Millions of us in love, promises made good
                
Your own flesh and blood
                                  
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes
                     
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
                                 
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one
                     
Didn't you think anyone loved you
                                                  
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
                                                      
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
