About I'll Share My World with You

"I'll Share My World with You" is a song by American country singer George Jones. It was written by Ben Wilson and reached #2 when it was released by Jones on the Musicor label in 1969. It also reached #126 on the U. S. pop chart, his first appearance there since "The Race Is On" in 1964. Its title and sentiments are similar to Jones 1967 #1 song "Walk Through This World with Me." Wilson was an elderly man who lived in Miami and had made his way through life making souvenirs from seashells before turning to professional songwriting at age fifty-four and, like many country fans, he had gotten swept up in the rumors swirling around about Jones and Tammy Wynette, recalling, "At that time, George was just about to get married to Tammy, and was very much in love with her. And I was also very much in love with my own wife. After talking to my wife about this, I wrote 'I'll Share My World with You.'" The only song that kept the single from the top spot when it was released in early 1969 was Wynette's monster hit "Stand By Your Man." Jones performed "I'll Share My World with You" live throughout his career, usually as part of a medley of older hits.

Written by Ben Wilson

I'll share my world with you
Ev'rything that I own
My earthly possessions
They're no good if I'm alone
Let me give you the sunshine
While it's fresh with morning dew
Can't you see that I'm waiting
To share my world with you

I'll share my world with you
If you'll be mine alone
I'll give you a new heart
You're the only love it's known
Let me give you my two arms
They'll be reaching when you do
Can't you see they are waiting
To share my world with you

I'll share my world with you
Ev'rything that I see
Divide all the memories
One for you, and one for me
Oh let me give you my two lips
They'll be smile when you do
Can't you see they are waiting
To share my world with you

Can't you see they are waiting
To share my world with you
