I Fell in-Love with this song like how I fell in-Love with DC.

I'm with you...

the lyrics left me something to treasure for my entire life.

definitely. those were really nice words. then, i remembered when DC sang it.. wow.. he's so sincere. Love it && Him!

yeah, I can still remember.

My all time favorite song that he sang. It really spoke to his journey on Idol. Did you see what he said on Nightline about it? He is so adorable and sincere. Truely a nice guy! Thanks for posting the lyrics, I am so bad at understanding some of them. It's one of the pitfalls of being a cougar!

hehe.. yeah I've read that...

He's so adorable.

This song is so nice..so warm when DC sang it..

Thankx for the lyrics.

no prob, my pleasure.

yup really nice

David Cook's performance of this song on Idol was magnificent. He sang it with such sensitivity, originality, and feeling. He really moved me. The World I Know was among my favorite songs before...but now having heard David's version, it has become a top song for me.

I really hope he puts his version of The World I Know on his album. Does anyone know if he will??

I've loved CS's version of the song for a looooong time.. lol.

But man, the way DC sings this song... it's just so beautiful.

I love DC's version. Even my aunt loves it much.

DC's version is much better.....

i love DC's version..

No, his performance did not draw the crowd into raucous cheering over every note (like Archie's "Imagine"), but his understated, sublime performance and absolutely gorgeous heart-wrenching singing was infinitely more touching and powerful than a "power ballad."

To me, this is the culmination of his entire experience and his maturity as a singer. Find a piece that speaks to you...and your audience will follow. It's not the other way around. Which is why he is the American Idol, and will be the present and future.

Just love, love his rendition. More heartfelt and masterful than the original.

I very much agree. I think we could almost see into David's soul as he was performing this. And to see him feel such relief when the 3rd song was over on the night of the top 2 was very heartwarming, too. He's absolutely amazing, and yes, very mature!

I'm proud to say I'm a fellow Missourian!

I totally agree - it's his soul that has completely drawn us in and why I personally love him so much! Just heard CS's version on the radio the other day and DC's version has completely eclipsed it for me, although the original is still a good song, David's version is so much more powerful. I love the acoustic version he sang on Ellen too.

Such beautiful lyrics.

my current fave..

ME TOO!!!! My favorite song used to be "Always Be My BAby" but now, it's "The World I KNow"

I loved how when he sang it there was the lyric "As the tears roll down" he actually has tears rolling down at the end of the song its so cool!!

I just requested this song friday on the radio and when i asked the dj said she loves this song and i said yeah i heard david cook sing it on AI and she was like yeah i loved him too! it was really cool i never get my requests on the radio let alone my voice!

That's nice to know. Keep loving the cook!

brought me tears everytime i hear this song..thats the best perfomance he had in AI..he did it with sooooo much emotion...and the lyrics...ohhhhh god...i hv cd in my car and i played it almost evryday...and i heard him says that this song is very meaningful to him..andrew also said that THE WORLD I KNOW was his best perfomance..

I love this one

.this song is so beautiful.
.and of course dc's version is much better.
.i love it.
