If I Could Build My Whole World Around You
With - Tammi Terrell
Written by - Harvey Fuqua, Johnny Bristol & Vernon Bullock

Marvin:
  If I could build my whole world around you, darlin'
  First I'd put heaven by your side
  Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey
  And over your head would be the bluest sky
  And I'd take every drop of rain
  And wash all your troubles away
  I'd have the whole world built around you
  And that would be all right, oh, yes it would

Tammi:
  If I could build my whole world around you
  I'd make your eyes the morning sun
  I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
  I'd put joy where there's never been love
  And I'd give my love to you
  To keep for the rest of your life
  And happiness would surely be ours
  And that would be all right, oh, yes it would

Both:
  Doo doo doo doo...

Marvin:
  Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
  I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess

Tammi:
  And I'd step into this world you've created
  And give you true love and tenderness
  And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
  To make this world better as days go by

(Repeat and fade out):
Marvin:
  If I could build my whole world around you
Tammi:
  If I could build my whole world around you
Both:
  Then that would be all right, oh, yeah
