Since I was a little girl, this song was always one of my ultimate favorite. My mommy and me song. The world in my eyes were less crazy in the 80’s.
Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) was and still is my remedy musician when I feel helpless, discouraged and sad by the mankind. He does put a smile upon my face.
Here a beautiful prestation of this peaceful and legendary song with Yusuf Islam and Chris Cornell.
Wild World by Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) and Chris Cornell
Two beautiful souls. It’s does still hurt like hell the sudden passing of Chris. His voice, his love for music will always confort our soul in this wild world.
Now that I’ve lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it’s breaking my heart you’re leaving
Baby, I’m grieving
But if you want to leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby baby it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it’s a wild world
I’ll always remember you like a child, girl
You know I’ve seen a lot of what the world can do
And it’s breaking my heart in two
‘Cause I never want to see you sad girl
Don’t be a bad girl
But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware
Beware
