Before you told me that you care for me
The skies were grey, they wore a frown
I never knew the stars were there for me
When all at once, you're love brought them down, now...

The world is mine
There are no bluer skies
The world that lies within your eyes
Is all my own, dear

The world is mine
For since you came my way
I'm king of all that I survey
You're mine alone

The dawn is in your smile
Your voice is the whispering breeze
Your love is the music of trees
As long as I have these

The world is mine
The sun and stars that shine
Your eyes have told them 
That the world is mine
