Rodney Crowell - It's Such A Small World Lyrics






Fancy meeting you here, tonight
It's such a small world, New York ain't my town
I don't come around, but once in a while

This is such a surprise to see you
Girl, your looking so good; it's been a long time
Since you've crossed my mind
It's such a small world

Just one night on the town,
I came looking around for something to do

Just a change of my plans on leaving
And I stay around and I run into you
Which just goes to prove it's such a small world

It's such a small world
I've lived alone for awhile
It's such a small world
It feels like I've gone out of style

You and me will always be
Just looking for something that's already happened
Years go by but you and I don't have to look beyond today

Maybe just for tonight
We can turn out the light

Lay your heart on the line
Let go of your mind

You know just what to say
You know just what to do

You still look like the day when I first met you

I'll be gone once again come morning
Like I've always done
But to see you tonight
Makes everything right, it's such a small world

Hey, right here you stand as if it was planned
It's such a small world

  4. D.... B....

    I Love these two perfection!

  5. A.... J....

    2019 😊

  6. P.... L....

    So glad I ran across this song. Back in the day of great country music by two wonderful singers

  7. J.... G....

    " Lay your heart on the line, let go of your mind". I borrowed that line in 2012 for the start of the most beautiful thing i have ever experienced in this life!

  8. A.... G....

    Why he be looking like Johnny cash tho. When they say you marry your dad they really meant it

  9. D.... C....

    Met rodney back around the time this album was out on his tour. Stayed at same hotel. Super nice guy

  10. j.... b....

They were great team. Truly love there classic hit songs on different albums. Truly amazing artist and talented singer and songwriter and much more. Thank you.

  11. G.... B....

    Love this song! Their voices blended so beautifully.

  12. F.... F....

    Aww such a beautiful sexy heart touching song. Awesome voices. Sexy couple ❤️

  13. J.... C....

    What a good song is supposed to like.

  14. R.... V....

    Hahahaha that was awesome

  15. S.... W....

    💖👍

  16. G.... R....

    It's a damned shame I had to endure 20 seconds of some guy named Luke Bryan just to get to the music.

    G.... R....

    You right about that brother
    Luke Bryan sucks buffalo ass,,,

  17. s.... m....

    Still loving this song and video A blend of great talent

  18. L.... M....

    ....IF IT'S SUCH A SMALL WORLD....WHY ARE THERE STILL SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY OF OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS STILL STARVIN TO DEATH???.....SURELY ON A PLANET THAT'S COVERED MOSTLY WITH WATER....IT SHOULDN'T BE TO HARD TO FEED EVERYONE ON LAND.....

  19. A.... ....

    Rodney you are my favorite country singer. I still remember the job I had in the 80s when this song came out

  20. N.... L....

    It truly is.

  21. K.... E....

    Deadly
    Capture a moment in TIME
    Greetings from Dublin Ireland brothers and sisters
    They are still killing it today.

  22. d.... K....

    Wished they'd stayed together!

  23. A.... B....

    Such beautiful music

  24. L.... S....

    ReAnne Cash has that voice she is great on Tennessee Flattop Box

  25. P.... E....

    God I love Rosanne so much

  26. M.... T....

    They changed the ending in the video. In the song, it's implied that it's just a one-time hookup (for old time's sake), but in the video he comes back to her at the end.

  27. A.... R....

    love this video and love the two of them together

  28. M.... H....

    Loved this always!

  29. L.... B....

    I wonder if John ever watched this and was all like 'oh, my, god.'

  30. J.... E....

    Big hair!

  31. n.... m....

    Loved their collaborations

  32. T.... D....

    Yes Stephane Quellette her Parents was the oldest and Best in Country Music!! Johnny Cash.

  33. J.... H....

    Their dynamic beginning produced some great music, but like the moon and the sun, both couldn't exist in the presence of now, and we the fans suffered! Love their music!

    J.... H....

    Check out Rodney Crowell "It Ain't Over Yet" (featuring Rosanne Cash & John Paul White). It's fairly new -- created many years after they were together.

  34. j.... m....

    growing up i drove an older dodge car with a cassete player, only had about a dozen cassetes but my favorite was rodney crowel. will never forget those times!

  35. C.... P....

    loved this couple.. love the story he tells of meeting the late great daddy in law, John Cash

  36. K.... B....

    they made a cute couple

  37. K.... B....

    old classic

  38. B.... R....

    Such a good song and performance. They made a good team, I'm thinking. Too bad it didn't work out, but hopefully, they are both happy.

    B.... R....

    They ARE happy. Saw Rosanne at a book signing in NYC a few years back and she was great. Inspiring to those of us who identify with what she went through and gets out of life. Rodney, of course, creatively forges ahead as usual.

  39. D.... J....

    WOW that's a beautiful song love the two of you ❤

  40. K.... W....

    such a beautiful song :)

  41. L.... L....

    Amazing! I remember this song..."It's such a small world!"

  42. M.... ....

    I have loved this song for about a hundred years now.  Thanks!

  43. F.... ....

    I bet both of them cringe at this now! Rodney and Rosanne went on to make much better music after this over-produced 1980s guff.

    F.... ....

    +Freakster1970 I bet not! What would they have to cringe at? Nothing Rodney ever oversaw production on EVER sounded or sounds overproduced. The vocals in this are beautiful, and it isn't full of snares & synthesizer which characterized 80s bullshit, on the contrary, the instrumentals are great. And while some of Rosanne's early 80s stuff was stuff she cringed at, that was before Rodney had a hand in it. Together, they recorded stuff that was pure magic.

  44. d.... ....

    Love this video! Their Voices Blend perfectly!
    Pretty Racy for the 80's!!

    d.... ....

    +desert3347 Rodney and Rosanne were married when this video was made.

    d.... ....

    Yep! Knew that....It was a steamie Video back in the day....

    d.... ....

    +desert3347 in today's videos this video has nothing on today's!

    d.... ....

    This is a racy video even by today's standards, imo, because most married celebs don't want to reveal that much of themselves on camera. Good for them, that they were able to be so vulnerable and open, because it is a beautiful video. The only other video I can recall seeing, that had a husband and wife team in bed together, was the Jessica Simpson video for "The Sweetest Sin". On her MTV reality show, they showed the filming of that video, and I still can't believe it. She and Nick Lachey were rolling around in bed together, looking naked under the sheets, and her ex-preacher father was standing there watching the whole thing. I was thinking, how in the hell do you get busy with your hubby under the sheets, with your Daddy standing there watching? I'm sure I wasn't the only one wondering about that. That was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen on a reality show.

  45. M.... P....

    to bad they didn't recotd more song's together.

  46. L.... W....

    I only found you, oh my lord, love your singing, thank you so much Rodney!!

  47. J.... D....

    These are the real deal country stars. Both still making compelling records of their own songs. Knocked this duet out of the park back in the 80's. Love them both and I'm not a big fan of country music (unless we're talking Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams)

  48. j.... ....

    the old 92.3 KRST FM Albuquerque!

  49. L.... 1....

    it was perfect combination for awhile!

  50. D.... P....

    "You and me will always be just looking for something that's already happened.." Rodney and Roseanne's voices together are sheer heaven on this one. Makes me happy just to think of this song--thanks for posting!


  51. s.... D....

    Such a great song. I always felt sad that they divorced.

    s.... D....

    +sarah D. Yeah me too.Such a great song and video.Apperently they still are very good friends.

    s.... D....

    Exactly. Divorced.

    s.... D....

    sarah D.

  52. C.... ....

    great duet

  53. d.... s....

    great sounding song to brainwash with... the type of message that made America what it is today...  fornication leads to destruction... depression, suicide, unwanted pregnancies, abortion, disease, death, divorces......and a corrupted society ends up with a president like the one we have now... then it usually goes out with a bang like Sodom and Gomorrah did....   but beautiful melody. 

    d.... s....

    @09jitters Jesus said.. the sick need a physician...  so I am probably in the right place to preach. lol    Yes you can do what you want ... well to a certain degree.. with your freedom... but we all have to give answer to the Lord eventually...

    d.... s....

    @disamakeame sick
    The Lord knows that I agree that he and only he is authorized to judge me, and when that time comes I will answer to HIM, but I will not answer to you nor do I need your help. Being the very healthy individual that I am, you can move on to another person that may need a physician. Take care.

    d.... s....

    @09jitters actually who told you that HE is the only one that can judge you? That isn't biblical at all...  even though it isn't judging to recite the laws of God and to give a warning of the dangers.. that is what the bible COMMANDS a believer to do....  

    d.... s....

    @disamakeame sick
    Cool, have a great life, I am.

    d.... s....

    @09jitters I have too... and even a better eternity...  

  54. y.... c....

    Amo está canción ya que es muy bonita y por la razón que me la dedico a alguien muy especial para mí y que ame y extraño con todo mi corazón Marshall polhemus i miss you ♡♡♡

  55. d.... a....

    Awesome vid.

  56. w.... h....

    Rodney is coming to Kansas City's  downtown theater; thanks to Bill Shapiro!  Thanks Bill!

  57. R.... i....

    pure legend

  58. L.... H....

    ...and that was the song that changed !y life forever. I heard Rodney's voice and I was a goner.

  59. S.... R....

    Awwwsome

  60. B.... S....

    This song has always ment so much to me :)

  61. B.... C....

    Rodney is one of my songwriting heros. He inspires me. Rosanne is also an awesome talent. This is a good example of both. Thank you ~ BCK

  62. 3.... ....

    Where's Richard?!!! :-( lol

  63. 3.... ....

    Hey look who's on Letterman tonight... lol

  64. m.... ....

    good to see Rodney still truckin. Such talent. Nice to hear positive outcomes once in awhile. Musicians seem always to be dragged into dark pits. Too many IMO.

  65. 3.... ....

    I see that Rodney is on tour with Emily Lou Harris and Richard Thompson soon... looks like it would be fun... wish I could afford to go... (From the sux to be poor files;-)

  66. P.... ....

    Drugs will do it every time.

  67. s.... c....

    They are both alive and well and active in the music world! Roseanne posts almost daily on facebook :) ..just remembering ..I worked for Sony Music, Toronto when they were 'hot' and this video came out.. Imagine my surprise and delight when A&R brought Rodney down to the Inventory Control dept. to meet me.. knowing I was a huge fan ..and Shan gave me two tickets for his show that evening ..wow.. what a nice memory :)

  68. m.... ....

    I may be wrong but both had some personal isues back then. I have NOT heard from Rodney for decades. Such a guitar player and singer, songwriter. Too bad for the outcome.

  69. j.... ....

    agreed 100% this is a beautiful song and harmony. 80's and early 90's country at its best!

  70. m.... ....

    one of their better know hits. Both are awesome in their own right.Too bad country radio totally ignores these people.

  71. i.... ....

    Ain't love grand?

  72. l.... c....

    Its sad theyre not together anymore.

  73. S.... C....

    Rosanne has a great butt

  74. a.... r....

    Excellent.

  77. k.... ....

    i miss the 90s.

  78. n.... ....

    What a shame that google is spoiling most of the videos, with ads that many of us find objectionable. I guess we will have to wait until some bright spark comes up wuith an ad skipping program.

  79. A.... C....

    THIS IS A GREAT SONG..I REMEMBER GROWING UP LISTENING TO THIS SONG..MY MOM HAD THIS TAPE AND WORE IT OUT.

    Rodney, what the heck happened?

  88. L.... A....

    Makes me weep...

  89. U.... ....

    Christmas Eve 1987 - A chance meeting with an old friend from High School that I hadn't seen in years. I was out of work at the time and feeling pretty down. I saw her out of the corner of my eye as she walked into church, back home for the holidays. Naaah, it couldn't be I said, but it was her. I turned around and there she was, flashing that big smile that I remember. One of the best presents I ever got. We were never more than friends but she holds a special place in my heart.

  90. L.... ....

    I met him at 14 & fell in love. 5 yrs later, he was living 2600 miles away from our home town & I was 100. Out of the blue, I hit the only bar in our small town just to see him there. This song sums that night up perfectly. We have since moved on to other people, but again, last year, I stopped for gas in this small little village miles away from where I live. You realize it's such a small world when you walk in & there he is too :)

  91. p.... ....

    Awesome Together!

  92. D.... V....

    the perfect duo para esta cancion NICE !!!

  93. p.... ....

    Just Awesome

  94. A.... S....

  95. C.... ....

  96. C.... ....

    @DaveWollenberg just about 20 years ago!

  97. D.... W....

    Rodney and Rosanne in happier times. When did they start havin' marital problems? Somebody let me know. Hit #1 in Billboard, 4-30-88. God bless!
