If I Could Build My Whole World Around You - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

Ohh, if I could build my whole world around you, darlin'

First, I'd put Heaven by your side

Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walked, honey

And over your head would be the bluest sky

Then I'd take every drop of rain

And wash all your troubles away

I'd have the whole world wrapped up in you, darlin'

And that would be alright, oh yes, it will

If I could build my whole world around you

I'd make your eyes the morning sun

I'd put so much love where there is sorrow

I'd put joy where there's never been none

Then I'd give my love to you

For you to keep for the rest of your life

Oh, and happiness would surely be ours

And that would be alright, oh, yes, it would

Ohh, if I could build my whole world around you

I'd give you the greatest gift that any woman could possess

And I'd step into this world you created

And give you true love and tenderness

And there'd be something new with every tomorrow

To make this world better as days go by

That is if I could build my whole world around you

If I could build my whole world around you

And that would be alright, ohh, yeah

If I could build my whole world around you

If I could build my whole world around you

And that would be alright, ohh, yeah

If I could just build my world, baby

If I could build it, build it all around you

And that would be alright
