Perfect World

[Verse 1] Every lover would get a rose on Valentine's Day And every stray dog would find its way I'd be in your arms tonight 'neath the leaves Instead at your doorstep on my knees [Refrain] In a perfect world In a nearly perfect world [Verse 2] In the passing days absolve all our sins In the cool of the evening the losing team wins I'd recant my lack of trust And the mess I made of us [Refrain] In a perfect world In a nearly perfect world [Bridge] When you held me, I could not fall When we walkеd together, we walkеd tall When you locked me in your arms I felt so free When I looked in your eyes I saw what I thought could be [Refrain] A perfect world A nearly perfect world [Verse 3] The harshness of the day would be broken by rain Shattered hearts would come together again I'd have the guts to bet our love'd stand I'd never let you slip through my hands [Refrain] In a perfect world In a nearly perfect world In a perfect world In a nearly perfect world
