ESee what you lost when you left this Aworld, Bthis sweet old Eworld
ESee what you lost when you left this F#mworld, this sweet old Bworld
EThe breath from your own Alips, the Btouch of fingerEtips
EA sweet and F#mtender Bkiss
EThe sound of a midnight Atrain, Bwearing someone's Ering
ESomeone F#mcalling your Bname
ASomebody so warm G#mcradled in your arm
ADidn't you think you were worth anytBhing
See what you Elost when you left this Aworld, Bthis sweet oEld world
ESee what you lost when you left this F#mworld, this sweet old Bworld
EMillions of us in Alove, Bpromises made Egood
Your own F#mflesh and Bblood
ELooking for some Atruth, Bdancing with no Eshoes
EThe beat, the F#mrhythm, the Bblues
AThe pounding of your heart's drum G#mtogether with another one
ADidn't you think anyone Bloved you
See what you Elost when you left this Aworld, Bthis sweet oEld world
ESee what you lost when you left this F#mworld, this sweet old Bworld
See what you Elost when you left this Aworld, Bthis sweet oEld world
ESee what you lost when you left this F#mworld, this sweet old Bworld
