I Have Been Around the World by Dar Williams Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, you make my coffee and
It's only three AM
But soon I'm going far away
And my time is almost up
I hold my coffee cup
We sit with nothing left to say

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know that soon I will be touching down
In a shining city or a mountain town

[Chorus]
I have been around the world
But all that I can see
Are these moments that we have
You're all the world to me

[Verse 2]
Well, there's always laughter
And the parties after
And a fond farewell before I go
Leaving town, the window panes
They flash like movie frames
The last scene in a picture show
[Pre-Chorus]
But I know that I am not alone and you
Are the one that I can tell my stories to

[Chorus]
I have been around the world
There's so much there to see
And the story never ends
You're all the world to me

[Bridge]
And I know there are times you think I've lost my way
But there is no way this can be true
'Cause when I'm walking through
The door I look for you
You're all I'm looking for

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's truer now than it's ever been
I'm the lucky one that love has taken in

[Chorus]
I have been around the world
From sea to shining sea
I wish that you were here
You're all the world to me
I have been around the world
From sea to shining sea
And now I'm heading home
You're all the world to me
