Time Stood Still
Lyrics
Despair, regret and tenderness
Is what I feel for you
I loved you from the very start
What else could I do
You read my mind, you made me cry
Time stood still
And now I know the reasons why
Time stood still
Maybe you're my next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been
A flame becomes a fading light
That burns inside my heart
And like a castle in the sand
It had to fall apart
You made me laugh, you gave me hope
It's over now
Our happiness went up in smoke
It's over now
Maybe you're my next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been
Maybe you're my next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been
Maybe you're my next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been
Maybe you're my next best thing to happen
All the things we might have been
