It wasn't always like this 

It wasn't always so 

We did it in the darkness 

We did it in the cold 



Caught in a fairly extraordinary world 

It's emotional 

Where talking it rarely that necessary 

And time doesn't count at all 



(Whispered verse - very unclear!) 

Bohemian boys and Brazilian girls 

Make familiar noise in a familiar world 

Its like a million beats in a Parisian heart 

(They're made of glass) 

Working the west with the girls from the east 

Working a sweat from a million beats 

Where oblivion stops and oblivion starts 

(They're made of glass) 



Chorus: 

Love makes the world go round 

I hold it in my hands 

But it slips away 

(And I watch it fade) 

Love is a mystery 

I hear it talk to me 

But the words are strange 

(Like it knows my name) 

Love makes the world go round 

I hold it in my hands 

But it slips away 

(And I watch it fade) 

Love is a mystery 

I hear it talk to me 

But the words are strange 

(They're made of glass) 



It wasn't always easy 

It wasn't always fun 

We interwine niaively 

But in the end we're one 



Caught in a fairly extraordinary world 

It's emotional 

Where talking it rarely that necessary 

And time doesn't count at all 



Chorus: 

Love makes the world go round 

I hold it in my hands 

But it slips away 

(And I watch it fade) 

Love is a mystery 

I hear it talk to me 

But the words are strange 

(Like it knows my name) 

Love makes the world go round 

I hold it in my hands 

But it slips away 

(And I watch it fade) 

Love is a mystery 

I hear it talk to me 

But the words are strange 

(They're made of glass)
