In a Perfect World
We were meant to be
You were put on earth for me
I'll know that 'til my dying day
But somehow life got in the way
Where did it all go wrong
We couldn't survive the winter storm
Now our lives are lying broken and bare
Somewhere there must be a place
For dreams that should have been
Where a love like ours can stand the test of time
In a perfect world You would still be mine.
Love should've been enough
But it wasn't when the waters got rough
The tide swept you out of my arms
Somewhere there must be a place
For dreams that should have been
Where a love like ours can stand the test of time
In a perfect world You would still be mine
Every night I ask why
But I get no reply
There are no answers in the moonlight
No comfort in the moonlight
Sometimes it seems so unfair
Like the universe just doesn't care
That it could tear our two souls apart
Somewhere there must be a place
For dreams that should have been
Where a love like ours can stand the test of time
In a perfect world You would still be mine
Somewhere there must be a place
Oh there's got to be a place
A perfect world
Where some day you'll be mine.
