WORLD YOU LEFT BEHIND, THE
(Alex Zanetis)


Jim Reeves - 1963





I try to sleep to kill the pain  
When I wake it's still the same
'Cause I'm living in this world you left behind

Just like a broken piece of glass  
You have swept me aside to pass
Leaving shattered dreams with a lonely heart and mind

Well, here I go again (Here I go again)
It's just like yesterday (Just like yesterday)
The pain is deep within my heart to stay
 
I'm just a fool to sit and cry
Wasting years before I die
In this lonely world
This world you left behind

(Instrumental Break)

Well, here I go again (Here I go again)
It's just like yesterday (Just like yesterday)
The pain is deep within my heart to stay
 
I'm just a fool to sit and cry
Wasting years before I die
In this lonely world
This world you left behind
