World on a String

by Dave Draper  ©  1995293 words

Dream-filled-balloon-160x160
You’ve got me reaching so wildly for that blue moon
I’m lost in the clouds and I ain’t coming down
I’m sailing a dream filled balloon
Oh, I hope you can save me and I hope
You can make it real soon
I’m here all alone, way up in the clouds
Here with my dreams and the moon
I’m just like an egg at the tip of a spoon
I’m ready to roll, ready to roll and I’ve got to roll soon

You’ve got my world on a string
Any time that you want, any time that you want
You can just reel it in

You’ve got my heart in a sling
And it’s only you, it’s only you
Who can heal everything

I don’t know how this got started
But it’s hit me just like the flu
No matter how hard I try now I just can’t control it
There ain’t a single thing I can do
I’m under the spell of all of your charms
Longing for you, longing for you here in my arms

You’ve got my world on a string
Any time that you want, any time that you want
You can just reel it in

You’ve got my heart in a sling
And it’s only you, it’s only you
Who can heal everything

You’ve got my world on a string

You’ve got my whole world now

You’ve got my world on a string


You’ve got my whole world now

You’ve got my world on a string


You’ve got my whole world now

You’ve got my world on a stri – i – i – ing

You’ve got my world on a stri – i – i – ing



You’ve got my world on a string
