lyrics

a smile that's known to millions
a presence gazing through
two eyes that sparkle green gray
it's Hollywood's
golden child from syracuse
whose every step makes international ... news

when the world is your best friend
the party never ends
I believe in you tom cruise
for the world is your best friend
and glory comes like a morning cup of tea
and the sky is blue
and when it shines, the sun it shines for you, Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise!

their names are unremembered
they dream in sleepy towns
vicariously living
quiet lives,
through avatars of beauty and renown
whose steps hover several inches over.... ground

when the world is your best friend
the party never ends
I believe in you tom cruise
for the world is your best friend
and glory comes like a morning cup of tea
and the sky is blue
and when it shines, the sun it shines for you

when the world is your best friend!
what I wouldn't do
to be in your shoes
and stand on top of the world
enjoying the view
the sun is just a star
and you'll still be who you are
it's just a star
but it shines for you, Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise!

you complete me!
you complete me! tom cruise!

jump, jump, jump on my couch tom cruise!
jump, jump, jump on my couch tom cruise!
jump, jump, jump on my couch tom cruise!
jump, jump, jump on my couch tom cruise!
