A World So Full of Love Lyrics

I know how it feels to be alive with no desire to live
I know how it feels to die inside and try hard to forgive
And my way of finding out is 'cause a love just let me down
In a world so full of love, yet not enough to go around

I was once so proud to have her love that I could burst with pride
But that sunshine turned to storm and now that's all I feel inside
It's enough to make me wish that I could hide and not be found
In a world so full of love yet not enough to go around

I could sit for days and wonder and not find the answer still
By the time I die I wonder if by then I even will
I must live to be a hundred if I hope to live it down
In a world so full of love yet not enough to go around

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Fun fact, this version of the song is a demo, likely made in 1960, and was the version used on The Genius of Roger Miller box set. It was recorded as a single by Faron Young in 1961, who sped it up, changed two or three words, and got himself a writing credit. The lyrics changed slightly again when Roger re-recorded the song for his 1970 album, "A Trip In The Country." No recording tops the demo version though.
