[INTRO — UPRIGHT BASS, SOFT PIANO, BRUSHED SNARE, WORDLESS MALE DOO-WOP HARMONIES] [MALE LEAD ONLY — WARM 1950s TENOR] I used to think the biggest love had to fill the whole sky. No room left for anything else. [PAUSE] That sounded romantic. It also sounded a little lonely. [VERSE 1 — MALE LEAD ONLY] You're the face I look for when I walk through the door. The voice I want beside me when the day has gone wrong. But before you there were people who knew my name. Dreams I carried. Work I loved. Roads that made me who I am. [PRE-CHORUS — MALE LEAD ONLY] Love doesn't get smaller because life has other rooms. [CHORUS — MALE LEAD + MALE DOO-WOP HARMONIES] YOU'RE PART OF MY WORLD! A BEAUTIFUL PART! BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY EVERY ROOM INSIDE MY HEART! PART OF MY WORLD! STAY CLOSE TO ME! I CAN LOVE YOU WITHOUT ASKING YOU TO BE EVERYTHING I NEED! [DOO-WOP HARMONY TURN — MALE VOICES ONLY] [VERSE 2 — MALE LEAD ONLY] I still need friends. Still need silence. Still need hours that belong to me. You still need yours. Your own people. Your own dreams. Your own reasons to breathe. If I make you my whole horizon, then every step away looks like the end. That's too much weight to put on love. Too much weight to put on you. [CHORUS — MALE LEAD + MALE HARMONIES] YOU'RE PART OF MY WORLD! NOT ALL THAT EXISTS! I WANT YOUR HAND— NOT EVERY KEY TO EVERY DOOR I LIVE IN! PART OF MY WORLD! NO CAGE, NO THRONE! TWO PEOPLE CAN BELONG TOGETHER WITHOUT BECOMING ONE PERSON ALONE! [SAXOPHONE BREAK — TENOR SAX, PIANO, UPRIGHT BASS] [VERSE 3 — MALE LEAD ONLY] Maybe devotion isn't disappearing. Maybe it's choosing again and again while still being someone worth choosing. Bring your stories. I'll bring mine. Bring your friends. I'll know their names. We'll build something between us without tearing down everything around it. [BRIDGE — MALE LEAD ONLY, STRINGS ENTER] If I ever say: "You're all I have," I hope you'll tell me: "Go call your brother. Go see your friends. Pick up that guitar. Go remember the rest of yourself." [PAUSE] Then come back. I'll be here. [FINAL CHORUS — FULL BAND + STACKED MALE HARMONIES] YOU'RE PART OF MY WORLD! A BEAUTIFUL PART! NOT A JOB. NOT A BURDEN. NOT THE KEEPER OF MY HEART! PART OF MY WORLD! AND I'M PART OF YOURS! LOVE DOESN'T NEED TO LOCK THE WINDOWS OR CLOSE EVERY OTHER DOOR! PART OF MY WORLD! STAY CLOSE, STAY TRUE! I DON'T NEED TO MAKE YOU EVERYTHING TO KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU! [FINAL BREAKDOWN — MALE VOICES ONLY] [MALE GROUP] LOVE! [MALE LEAD] CHOOSE IT. [MALE GROUP] FRIENDS! [MALE LEAD] KEEP THEM. [MALE GROUP] DREAMS! [MALE LEAD] CHASE THEM. [MALE GROUP] SELF! [MALE LEAD] DON'T LOSE IT. [MALE GROUP] US! [MALE LEAD] BUILD IT. [OUTRO — PIANO + SOFT DOO-WOP HARMONIES] [MALE LEAD ONLY] You're not my whole world. [PAUSE] You're the person I want to share it with.
