My World (Sophie Song)

My World is a song by Elena Ferretti under the alias of Sophie. It was first featured on Sophie's debut album My World (1989). The single was initially released in Italy by Time Records on 1989, and in Japan by Victor as a Mini-CD release on June 7th, 1989. The single was written by Mauro Farina, Giuliano Crivellente, Federico Di Bonaventura, and Stefano Comazzi, with production credits going to Giacomo Maiolini. Additionally, Farina and Crivellente arranged the song, and Laurent G. Newfield recorded and mixed the song at Factory Sound Studio.

Yōko Ishino covered the song in Japanese on the same year as "Kissまで待てない -My World-". Ferretti covered the song again in 2006.

It is the first time Ferretti sang under the Sophie alias and would remain so for 17 years until its last release.

Lyrics
[Verse 1] You are my world But you're so far away I feel so alone Like any other day I need a change There's something special in you

[Verse 2] You are my love I wanna give you more I feel so cool Waitin' behind the door I need a chance There's something else I can do

[Pre-chorus] My love is all that I can give you You'll spend the night with me I want you This is the only thing I want to say

[Chorus] You're my world I'm loving your ways I'm living in paradise You're my world and all is OK When I look into your eyes Baby would you give me more I'm just knockin' at your door

[Verse 3] I feel so scared You were my only friend I'm like a child Lost in a desert land I need you here I wanna show you my love
