Sharon Wheatley - Stop the World lyrics

[Nick] (sung) Stop the world Take a picture Try to capture To ensure this moment lasts We're still in it, but In a minute - That's the limit - And this present will be past And here we are Where the world has come together And she will be In this picture, forever [Diane {Nick}] (spoken) Look at this: five hundred and forty million years ago, the continents of the world crashed together right here; and two hundred million years ago, they separated again, moving apart from each other. {Huh.} But, a little part of them was left behind. I should move! You're missing all the scenery! [Nick] No, no! Stay where you are. [Diane] Really? [Nick] Really. It's perfect. [Diane] (sung) Stop the world Seize the moment But the minute he goes you're alone, and it's through Pinch yourself Tell yourself: "You're just dreaming, that means he'll forget about you" But here we are Where the continents once crashed together Before they went their separate ways forever, so Stop the world [Nick] Stop the world [Diane] Stop the world [Nick] Stop the world [Diane] Stop the world [Both {Company}] From spinning 'round {Ahhhh} I wanna look out Overlooking something {Ahhhh} Worth taking the time to stop flying by {And look down} And look down. {Stop the world} Stopping to stare, {And look 'round} And look 'round. {Stop the world} Just tell them, {Ahhhh} "now," and look down Take a picture Of the scenery Of a lookout Of a moment Which is over Of the ocean Of the river Of the trees Stop the world Please
