Rosanne Cash And Rodney Crowell – It’s Such A Small World Lyrics

Fancy meeting you here, tonight
It’s such a small world, New York ain’t my town
I don’t come around, but once in a while

This is such a surprise to see you
Girl, your looking so good; it’s been a long time
Since you’ve crossed my mind
It’s such a small world

Just one night on the town,
I came looking around for something to do

Just a change of my plans on leaving,
And I stay around and I run into you
Which just goes to prove it’s such a small world

It’s such a small world

I’ve lived alone for awhile

It’s such a small world

It feels like I’ve gone out of style

You and me will always be
Just looking for something that’s already happened
Years go by but you and I don’t have to look beyond today

Maybe just for tonight
We can turn out the light

Lay your heart on the line
Let go of your mind

You know just what to say
You know just what to do

You still look like the day when I first met you

I’ll be gone once again come morning
Like I’ve always done
But to see you tonight
Makes everything right, it’s such a small world

Hey, right here you stand as if it was planned
It’s such a small world
