How in the World

from My Shoes by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

I was walking down the road one day
I spied a little girl and she was looking my way
And I caught her by the eye and said "how do you do”
She said “much better no that I am talking to you”

So I followed her right down the street
She didn’t seem to mind and she was looking so sweet
And I asked her “if you please where are you walking to?”
She said “no where in particular, I was looking for you”

So I asked her “could I maybe take along
I’ll tell you who I am and I will sing you my song”
She said”I wouldn’t mind it very much you see
I was hoping and a wishing you would stop by me”

Chorus:
How in the world do we find each other
How in the world does the world come through
When all around us is some harm or another
How in the world do you do

So we sat and talked for hours by the lake
She told me she loved water and she couldn’t stand snakes
And I told her who I was and how I made my way
She said tell me more I’d like to hear all you’ve got to say

And I told her that could maybe take a spell
I got many songs to sing and many stories to tell
She said, “that’s quite alright I haven’t any plans
Why don’t you sit right here beside me, maybe take my hand”

Chorus

So I told her everything I had to say
By then I was quite smitten and I knew I had to stay
So I asked her “Could 6we maybe try our hand at this”
She put her arms around me and we kissed
How in…

So it’s an awfully long way around this world and back
Hard to keep a focus, harder still to keep on track
But if you find someone to walk beside you everyday
There’s nothing you can’t do and even less that you can’t say

So find someone to love and hold on tight
Talk to her all day and hold her tighter in the night
Cause only love can make the difference in a day
It may not last forever, but it’s worth it in every way
