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
