LET THE GREAT BIG WORLD KEEP TURNING
(Nat D Ayer (m) Clifford Grey (l)  1917)




If I knew that someone cared for me,
I'd let the world go by.
Someone who was truer as true could be,
Id never want to sigh.
What would I give to day,
Just to hear someone softly say?

Let the great big world keep turning,
Never mind if I've got you;
For I only know
That I want you so,
And there's no-one else will do.
You have simply set me yearning,
And for ever I'll be true.
Let the great big worldc keep on turning,
Now I've found someone like you.

Love, they say, must come to one and all
Of high and low degree.
Come what may, I'm waiting for the call,
It holds no fears for me.
Maybe the day is near
When the thought of my heart I'll hear.

Let the great big world keep turning,
Never mind if I've got you;
For I only know
That I want you so,
And there's no-one else will do.
You have simply set me yearning,
And for ever I'll be true.
Let the great big world keep on turning,
Now I've found someone like you.
