Sweet Old World

Emmylou Harris

See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world 
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world 

The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips 
A sweet and tender kiss 
The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring 
Someone calling your name 
Somebody so warm cradled in your arm 
Didn't you think you were worth anything 

See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world 
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world 

Millions of us in love, promises made good 
Your own flesh and blood 
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes 
The beat, the rhythm, the blues 
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one 
Didn't you think anyone loved you 

See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world 
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
