Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
All the world was right when we met last night
I had always loved you it seems
And I felt the fire of that old desire
That you kindled in all of my dreams
And suddenly the whole world changed to a new design
In the arms of love
Heaven and earth were mine
Oh, what empty things are the dreams of kings
When love’s all that’s worth dreaming of
Cries of war and peace have their day and cease
But we win the world when we love
