John Prine - When Two Worlds Collide lyrics

Your world was so different from mine, don't you see

And we couldn't be close, though we tried

We both reached for heavens, but ours weren't the same.

That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good

My world could never fit in, I wish it could

Two hearts lie in shambles and oh, how they've cried

That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good

My world could never fit in, I wish it could

Two hearts lie in shambles and oh, how they've cried

That's what happens when two worlds collide

That's what happens when two worlds collide

I fancy that I see a bunch of roses

A blossom from and orange tree in your hair

While the organ plays "I Love You Truly,"

Just let me pretend that I am there

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel

That should be ringing now for you and me

Down the aisle with someone else you're walking

Those wedding bells with never ring for me

Those wedding bells with never ring for me
