All Over the World Lyrics by Françoise Hardy

All over the world
People must meet and part
There’s someone like me
Feeling a pain in their heart

Some may meet again
Under that same bright star
If maybe some night
You come back from afar
Who cares if tonight
I don’t know where you are

Are you thinking of me now
Missing having me around
If you have forgotten me
My world will come tumbling down

All over the world
Others are sad tonight
There’s someone like me
Watching the sun’s fading light

All over the sky
There is the same warm glow
Here under that star
I’m wanting you to know
Wherever you are
That I still love you so

All Over the World Lyrics from Xanadu

A place where nobody dares to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
And now open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
A million lights are dancing and there you are a shooting star
An everlasting love and your here with me eternally
Xanadu Xanadu, now we are here in Xanadu
Xanadu neon lights will shine
For you Xanadu
The love that echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
A dream that came through
A million years
And lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
A million lights are dancing
And there you are
A shooting star
An everlasting love and youre here with me eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu
Now we are here in xanadu
Xanadu Xanadu
Now we are here in Xanadu
Xanadu Xanadu now we are here in Xanad
Now that im here in Xanadu
Now that im here now that your nearin Xanadu
XANADU

All Over the World Lyrics by Tim J Spencer

All over the world the Spirit is moving
All over the world as the prophets said it would be
All over the world there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea

All over this land the spirit is moving
All over this land as the prophets said it would be
All over this land there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea

All over the church the spirit is moving
All over the church as the prophets said it would be
All over the church there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea

All over us all the spirit is moving
All over us all as the prophets said it would be
All over us all there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea

Deep down in my heart the spirit is moving
Deep down in my heart as the prophets said it would be
Deep down in my heart there’s a mighty revelation
Of the glory of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea
