If I Could Build My Whole World Around You (feat. Tammi Terrell)

Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye

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
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 would

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 love
And 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

Doo, doo, doo, doo, do
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, do
Doo, doo, doo, doo

Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess
And I'd step into this world you've created
And give you true love and tenderness
And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
To make this world better as days go by

That is if I could build my whole world around you
If I could build my whole world around you
Then, that would be alright, oh, yeah

If I could build my whole world around you
If I could build my whole world around you
Then, that would be alright, oh, yeah

If I could just build my world, baby
If I could build, build it all around, yeah
Then, that would be alright
