00:00Charles, we we can't go on like this. Why not? You're happy, aren't you? I want to
00:08hear a bird. Okay, I'll play you one. I want to see it on a twig with leaves.
00:18Let me see the world with clouds. Take me to the world out where I can push through
00:29crowds. Take me to the world, a world that smiles with streets instead of aisles, where I can walk for miles with you.
00:49Take me to the world that's real, show me how it's done. Teach me how to laugh, to feel, move me to the sun.
01:03Just hold my hand whenever we arrive. Take me to a world where I can be alive.
01:22The world is better here. I know, I've seen them both. Let me see the world. A poet doesn't count for much out there.
01:28We'd be cold and hungry in the winter. Dark, shabby room. Cracked closet. Red bear's hands. You couldn't get a job. I couldn't hold one.
01:41We'd begin to hate each other. We'd have fights, you'd cry. You couldn't bear it if you cried.
01:50Let me see the world that's real. Show me how it's done. Teach me how to laugh, to feel, move me to the sun.
02:06Stay here with me. Just hold my hand whenever we arrive. Let it be a world with you. Any other world. Take me to a world where I can be alive.
02:34Oh, Charles, what kind of life is this? I make the decisions. If I say we stay, we stay.
02:41We'll become just like the people here. Cold, spindly things that move at night. Sometimes I think it's happening to us already.
02:48I'm older and wiser. I know what's best. Oh, Charles, if you love me at all.
02:54I love you more than poetry. We're getting out tonight. There's the ball tonight. That makes it perfect. I'll read my ode. It's the first thing on the program.
03:04And then while everybody's dancing, I will go. I'll give you everything.
03:10Do you want the world? Well, then you shall have the world. Ask me for the world again. You shall have the world.
03:29A world of skies that's bursting with surprise to open up your eyes for joy. We shall see the world come true. We shall have the world.
03:49I won't be afraid with you. We shall have the world. You'll hold my hand and know you're not alone.
04:02You shall have the world to keep. Such a lovely world you'll weep. We shall have the world forever for our own.
04:32We shall have the world.
