Songwords to the Eurovision song 'Weve got the World'
We've Got The World She stands under moon light She touches her hair Her smile lights emotions
And her love fills the air

And I know you're my every tomorrow
And I know that you'll always be there
Chorus
We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
Lets hold on together
And we've got our love thats right (thats right)
so open your heart
Coz we've got tonight
We move even closer
With hope in our eyes
Coz love is the answer
To the hurt and the lies
Bridge
Chorus x2
Ask me why
The sun and the moon go round
Ask me why
My feet never touch the ground
Tell the truth
You take my breath away
We've got the world tonight
