The World Keeps Turning
Like a caroussel, the world keeps turning
As we play our scenes and pray our dreams come true
And the story of tomorrow is the one we write today
So, after all, it's up to me and you

We are told that life is what we make it
We would try to make it all worthwhile
If we only take the time to get to know each other
The world will stop its tears and learn to smile

Like a caroussel, the world keeps turning
As we play our scenes and pray our dreams come true
And the story of tomorrow is the one we write today
So, after all, it's up to me and you

When the night is gone, the dawn will follow
And the sun will chase the shadows from your mind
The caroussel that's turning to the tune the piper's playin'
Repaid for all the pleasures that we find

Like a caroussel, the world keeps turning
As we play our scenes and pray our dreams come true
And the story of tomorrow is the one we write today
So, after all, it's up to me and you

Then we'll change the world and its horizons
The sun and moon and stars will shine above
With summertime and roses and the winter, spring and autumn
The greatest of them all will still be love

Like a caroussel, the world keeps turning
As we play our scenes and pray our dreams come true
And the story of tomorrow is the one we write today
So, after all, it's up to me and you

Like a caroussel, the world keeps turning
As we play our scenes and pray our dreams come true
And the story of tomorrow is the one we write today
So, after all, it's up to me and you

So, after all, it's up to me and you
So, after all, it's up to me and you
