Were All The World Like You

By Arthur Macy

Were all the world like you, my dear, Were all the world like you, Oh, there'd be darts in all our hearts From sunset to the dew. For life would be Love's jubilee Where all were two and two, And lovers' rhyme the only crime, Were all the world like you, my dear, Were all the world like you. Were all the world like you, my dear, Were all the world like you, There'd be no pain nor clouds nor rain, No kisses overdue; But sweetest sighs and pleading eyes, Where Cupid's arrow flew, And lovers' rhyme the only crime, Were all the world like you, my dear, Were all the world like you.
