Sun came up on my street today   You sleep 10,000 miles away   And the world turns round      We found love in a foreign land   Won my heart, when you took my hand   And you layed me down   And the world turned round      Now we send love down long distance lines   Talk for hours and curse the time   Like in Dublin town   Where the world turned round      And there were those who came before us   Rising like a critics chorus   Trying to tell us those two days   Were one night stands      From Denmark to California   Come friendly words "Just trying to warn ya   These things rarely turn out like you planned"   But we took the risk, just like when we began      And New York City the place we'd meet   We'd hold hands down November streets   Then we both backed down   And the world turned round      Now I've known lovers and relations   Like my own United Nations   Trying to tell me to find someone close to home      But this life I chose means travel   And as the miles unravels   I've learned to take my loving when it shows   But it hurt me just that same to watch you go      Now it's late December and looks like rain   My heart keeps singing the same refrain   What's she doing now?   As the world turns round
