 x 4
  Only one shadow on  the wall,
  Just one candle  burning  bright.
  I hold your picture  to  my heart,
  I’m alone  inside  the night.
 The Sun comes up  in China,
  The lights  go on in Rome... oh.
 Half  the world is waiting  for someone  they can hold,
 Half  the world is praying  they'll never  be alone.
 Oh, everytime  you leave  me a part  of me goes too,
 And half  your world is waiting  here for you.
   x 2
  I 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 here.
 The train that takes  you from me
  Brings  somebody home... oh.
 Half  the world is waiting  for someone  they can hold,
 Half  the world is praying  they'll never  be alone.
 Oh, everytime  you leave  me a part  of me goes too,
 And half  your world is waiting  here for you.
 Baby, the Earth  stands still
 When I'm lying next  to you.
 No matter where  you go,
  Our whole world's  inside this room.
 
 The Sun comes up  in China,
  The lights  go on in Rome... oh.
 Half  the world is waiting  for someone  they can hold,
 Half  the world is praying  they'll never  be alone.
 And everytime  you leave  me, my  heart breaks in two.
 And half  your world is waiting  here for you.
   x 2
 I'm waiting  here...
 I'm waiting  here  for you...
 I'm waiting  here...
