“Whole Wide World” The Grooveblaster Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights (2008)

I found your picture in a drawer
I hadn’t seen it for 10 years or more
It got me wondering
What ever happened to you?

If I searched the whole wide world
Should I search the whole wide world?
What if I searched the whole wide world?
For you, you

You were my first love years ago
It’s been so long now
That I don’t know
Just where you may be today

Every so often I speak your name
And in my mind’s eye
You look just the same
But I really wonder what do you look like today

But if I searched the whole wide world
Should I search the whole wide world?
What if I searched the whole wide world?
For you, you

I tell our story, but it sounds strange
All the facts are rearranged
How do you feel today
And how should I feel today

What should you mean to me
Is it important, this history?
When I know
We’ll never be together again

There’s a place in my heart for you
I hope you’ve kept one too
Remember when our love was new
I’d search the whole wide world for you

If I searched the whole wide world
Should I search the whole wide world?
Well if I searched the whole wide world?
For you, you, you…
