Only one shadow on the wall
Just one candle burning bright
I hold your picture to my heart
I'm alone inside the nightThe sun comes up in China
The lights go on in RomeHalf the world is waiting
For someone they can hold
Half the world is praying
They'll never be aloneEvery time you leave me
A part of me goes too
Half your world is waiting here for youI 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 hereThe train that takes you from me
Brings somebody homeHalf the world is waiting
For someone they can hold
Half the world is praying
They'll never be aloneFor every time you leave me
A part of me goes too
Half your world is waiting here for youBaby, the earth stands still
When I'm lying next to you
No matter where you go
Our whole world's inside this roomThe sun comes up in China
The lights go on in RomeHalf the world is waiting
For someone they can hold
Half the world is praying
They'll never be aloneAnd every time you leave me
My heart breaks in two
And half the world is waiting here for youI'm waiting here
I'm waiting here for you
I'm waiting here
