Only one shadow on the wall

Just one candle burning bright

I hold your picture to my heart

I'm alone inside the night

The sun comes up in China ... the lights go on in Rome



Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold

Half the world is praying they'll never be alone

Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too

And half your world is waiting here for you



I reach across an empty bed

I hear your whisper in my ear

But like the sun without the moon

It's half a dream without you here

The train that takes you from me

Brings somebody home



Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold

Half the world is praying they'll never be alone

Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too

And half your world is waiting here for you



Baby the earth stands still

When I'm lying next to you

No matter where you go

Our whole world's inside this room

The sun comes up in China

The lights go on in Rome ... oh



Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold

Half the world is praying they'll never be alone

And everytime you leave me my heart breaks in two

And half the world is waiting here for you



I'm waiting here for you ...
