Lyrics of If I Could Build My Whole World Around You by Marvin Gaye

Verse

Oh, if I could build my whole world around you, darling

First I′d put heaven by your side

Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey

And over your head would be the bluest sky

Verse

Then I'd take every drop of rain

And wash all your troubles away

I′d have the whole world wrapped up in you, darling

And that would be alright, oh yes it will

Chorus

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

Verse

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

Verse

Do-do-do-doo-doo

Do-do-do-doo-doo

Do-do-do-doo-doo

Do-do-do-doo-doo

Chorus

Oh, If I could build my whole world around you

I′d give you the greatest gift any woman could possess

Verse

And I'd step into this world you created

And give you a true love and tenderness

And there′d be something new with every tomorrow

To make this world better as days go by

Chorus

That is, if I could build my whole world around you

If I could build my whole world around you

That would be all right, oh yeah

Chorus

If I could build my whole world around you

If I could build my whole world around you

Then that would be all right, oh yeah

Outro

If I could just build my world, baby

If I could build it, build it, all around you (And that would be alright)
