PERFECT WORLD
WORDS AND MUSIC BY PAUL R. VILLAL0B0S

In a place where the time stands still
And life there goes on unchanging still.
In a place where the dreams are few,
A child’s heart still beats in you…l

In a perfect world, Daddy’s never say good-bye.
In a perfect world, kids don’t have a reason to cry.
In a perfect world, Mama’s don’t get sick and die.
And in a perfect world, you ever have to wonder why.

In that place where there’s no more pain,
The door opens and it closes again,
Someone goes and someone’s left behind.
It always seems so damn unkind.

In a perfect world, never children say good-bye.
In a perfect world, Mom and Dad don’t have a reason to cry.
In a perfect world, children don’t get sick and die.
And in a perfect world, you ever have to wonder why.

They say heaven belongs to children,
I’m still hoping that’s all true,
‘Cause living in this world makes a heart grow weary.
Before my life is through,

I want to skip that rock across the river again,
Sit still and watch the clouds go by,
Put a smile on your face and get you started again,
Before I say good-bye….

Today’s the day when all time stands still.
We’re not promised any more than that,
So, love the people right in front of you.
And don’t forget to think this through.

In a perfect world time never slips away,
In a perfect world there’s always one more day.
In perfect world words never go unsaid,
And in a perfect world a heart never goes unread
