Richard Marx - Forget About the World

I miss the innocence of wishing
On stars up in the sky
I miss the days of me believing
Everything would be alright

There’s a fire out in the open
So let’s stay right here
Maybe for just a moment
We can make it disappear

Rome is burning and it’s raining red
Feels like everything’s hangin by a thread
Can’t even bet on tomorrow’s light
So let’s hold each other close and forget about the world tonight

I miss the days of never needing these distractions from my mind
And lately I miss the simple kindness
That used to be in human kind

And I know we can’t control it
The choices have been made
We’re just a ripple in the ocean
Tryin to stop a tidal wave

Rome is burning and it’s raining red
Feels like everything’s hangin by a thread
Can’t even bet on tomorrow’s light
So let’s hold each other close and forget about the world tonight

There’s a fire out in the open
So let’s just stay right here
Maybe for just a moment
We can make it disappear

Rome is burning and it’s raining red
Feels like everything’s hangin by a thread
Can’t even bet on tomorrow’s light
So let’s hold each other close and forget about the world tonight
