what is that sound
ringing in my ears
the strangest sound
i`ve heard for years and years
the sound of two hearts
beating side by side
the sound of one love
that neither one can hide

the sound that makes the world go round
the sound that makes the world go round

what is that sound [bad word] round my head
funny i thought
that part was long since dead
but now there`s new life
coursing through my veins
because there`s someone
who`ll make it beat again

the sound that makes the world go round
the sound that makes the world go round
the sound that makes the world go round
the sound that makes the world go round

what is that sound
ringing in my ears
the strangest sound
i`ve heard for years and years
the sound of two hearts
beating side by side
the sound of one love
that neither one can hide
