And I stare at the face in the mirror
I see a man, and there's hope in his eyes
This empty room's so lost inside
Chasing memories of the past

Ain't no place, ain't no road where I'm going
Cuz it's you all I need to show me the way
As time goes by, and you're not there
I miss you more and more every day

Don't let me down
For the time we spent together
Now I need you more than ever, baby
Don't let me down
We can change it for the better
All the world don't mean a thing
If you're not there
All the world don't mean a thing
If you're not there

Was it you, was it me, doesn't matter
Time built a wall so hard to climb
Oh I was blind, but now I see
I still hope for you to come my way
Yeah, I'm beggin' you to stay

Don't let me down
For the time we spent together
Now I need you more than ever, baby
Don't let me down
We can change it for the better
All the world don't mean a thing
If you're not there
Uh babe, if you're not there

Without your love the sun won't shine again
Need you by my side to soothe the pain
Tell me all that we've been through was not in vain

Don't let me down
For the time we spent together
Now I need you more than ever, baby
Don't let me down
We can change it for the better
All the world don't mean a thing
If you're not there
If you're not there

All the world don't mean a thing
If you're not there
