Half the World

Only one shadow on the wall Just one candle burning bright I hold your picture to my heart I'm alone inside the night The sun comes up in China the lights go on in Rome Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold Half the world is praying they'll never be alone Every time you leave me a part of me goes too And half your world is waiting here for you I reach across an empty bed I hear your whisper in my ear But like the sun without the moon It's half a dream without you here The train that takes you from me Brings somebody home Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold Half the world is praying they'll never be alone Every time you leave me a part of me goes too And half your world is waiting here for you Baby the earth stands still When I'm lying next to you No matter where you go Our whole world's inside this room The sun comes up in China The lights go on in Rome oh Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold Half the world is praying they'll never be alone And every time you leave me my heart breaks in two And half the world is waiting here for you I'm waiting here for you --- Half the World - Belinda Carlisle
