And now it's half past midnight
She calls his name
Afraid that in the morning
That nothing will change
And well, where are the things that we fought for?
Well, where is the love?
And well, where are the answers you told us
Would come from up above?
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
...in a whisper
She says she'd like to tell you
Just where they met
She says she's tryin'
But she can't remember yet
Sometimes when she's at home
And she's all alone
She thinks she hears him call her
On the telephone
And she says:
Well, where is the love that you promised?
Well, where have you gone?
I've searched for you, but when I get near
You leave me on my own
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
...in a whisper
Someday she'll try to find him
Bbut where should she look?
Should she look in a city, or in a book?
And well, where are the things that we fought for?
Well, where is the love?
And well, where are the answers you told us, would come from up above?
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
This is how the world is...
...in a whisper
