The World Stopped Turning

10 May 2010 | Paul Rea

The world stopped turning
If only for a moment…

My heart stopped beating
If only for a moment…

The first time I saw her
I already knew
That I’d put my heart in her hands
The bell rang true

The first time we kissed
It was clear to me
That we were bound
As lovers in eternity

The world stopped turning
For a moment or two
The first time my love
I laid eyes on you

My heart stopped beating
When I first met you
My skies somehow changed
From the grey to the blue

The world stopped turning
When our lips first met
Though years have passed
I will never forget
The wonderful feeling
Of that time and that place
The silent sweetness
Of my lovers embrace
The softness of her skin
The glow in her face
The world stopped turning
It froze in its place
