Burt Bacharach - Where Did It Go? lyrics

Stop the clock Make it stop Where'd it go? I don't know Stop the clock Make it stop Where is that world Where did it go? When I was a young boy Twelve years old Growing up in New York city I could ride the subway by myself And never, ever be afraid Where did it go? And tell me what happened to that world I knew Is it really gone? How did we wind up in this place instead Is it really gone? Now I have a boy who's twelve And a girl who's nine And a son in college And I worry all the time Worry 'bout their future What will it bring? 'Cause nobody is safe these days Where did it go? How do we get back to that other place? There's gotta be a way How do we un-do a thousand mistakes? See there's got to be a way Where is that world Where did it go?
