In My World

For you my friend I write this song

About a place where nothing goes wrong

Where the jukebox never skips a beat

And all the lost ones we get to meet

Close my eyes, take me there again

To a world without goodbye, my friend

It’s just a dream, but I don’t care

Let’s build that world, right here, right there

In my world, there’s no fighting poverty or shame

In my world, Buddy Holly misses that plane

Phil Lynott’s on the stage again

In my world, war is made illegal

And my Elvis Presley sings the blues again

No more headlines selling fear

All the broken hearts repaired right here

Curtains rise on second chances

And Johnny Cash still leads the dances

Close my eyes, take me there again

To a world without goodbye, my friend

It’s just a dream, but I don’t care

Let’s build that world, right here, right there

In my world, there’s no fighting poverty or shame

In my world, Buddy Holly misses that plane

Phil Lynott’s on the stage again

In my world, war is made illegal

And my Elvis Presley sings the blues again

Imagine it now —

The King on vocals, Phil on bass

Buddy picking that Stratocaster grace

No bombs falling, no hunger pains

Just love and music in the pouring rain

In my world, there’s no fighting poverty or shame

In my world, Buddy Holly misses that plane

Phil Lynott’s on the stage again

In my world, war is made illegal

And my Elvis Presley sings the blues again

Yeah, my Elvis Presley sings the blues again

My Elvis Presley sings the blues… again…
