[Verse 1] We don't know how big the world will be When we take it slowly down the road To the baseball field by the one-room schoolhouse With the paint that's peeled [Verse 2] And the church that won't share The answers to the secrets in our prayers for you Sing them out, sing them strong Beat our doubt, by helping you belong to [Chorus] A world that's bigger than you and me A world that's bigger, fur and the flea A world that's bigger, than the length of the sea A world that's bigger than you and me and love, Virginia [Verse 3] We don't know if we'll have to break the bank When we send you off to the school With the best college rank For the subjects of your choice that make you say [Chorus] That the world is bigger than you and me The world is bigger, fur and the flea The world is bigger than the length of the sea The world is bigger than you and me and [Bridge] The root of all heartache is a mild surprise With these gentle words we try to calm your cries You were born a spring baby during the last winter snow Even Mother Nature doesn't know [Chorus] That the world is bigger than you and me The world is bigger, fur and the flea The world is bigger than the length of the sea The world is bigger than you and me and love, Virginia
