You gave me a world so full of everything I need You brought love into a lonely heart And like the foal of roan you knocked the crops right out from me You sure know how to tear the world apart Take back the sun take back the stars Take back the love that helps me in a whirl With only half a dream I don't have none at all So darling you can't take back the world [ steel - dobro ] The universe can't hold the love I'll always have for you Cause you control the stars with all you do I knew I'd only love you until my life ran out But I don't think my world would end with you Take back the sun take back the stars... Oh oh oh darling you can't take back the world
