(Vince Gill/Bob DiPiero)
There's nothing quite as lonely
As a sky that turns to gray
Or a love that just starts dyin'
And slowly fades away
You were my best companion
Now we lie silent in the dark
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
There's nothing quite as empty
As when children go away
And all that's left are memories
Of all those yesterdays
You can't understand the feeling
'Til it finds its way to your heart
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
There's nothing quite as ugly
As two people full of hate
We'll all end up as equals
When we stand at heaven's gate
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
Love is still the answer
It's the only place to start
Why do you and me have to be worlds apart
