Fancy meeting you here, tonight It's such a small world, New York ain't my town I don't come around, but once in a while This is such a surprise to see you Girl, your looking so good; it's been a long time Since you've crossed my mind It's such a small world Just one night on the town, I came looking around for something to do Just a change of my plans on leaving, And I stay around and I run into you Which just goes to prove it's such a small world It's such a small world I've lived alone for awhile It's such a small world It feels like I've gone out of style You and me will always be Just looking for something that's already happened Years go by but you and I don't have to look beyond today Maybe just for tonight We can turn out the light Lay your heart on the line Let go of your mind You know just what to say You know just what to do You still look like the day when I first met you I'll be gone once again come morning Like I've always done But to see you tonight Makes everything right, it's such a small world Hey, right here you stand as if it was planned It's such a small world
