Lyrics

STOP THE CLOCK
(Tonio K./T Bone Burnett)

someone should have shot that picture
someone could have saved the day
but who'd have guessed it; who could know
just how fast the time would go?
someone should have shot that picture

oh stop the clock
stop the clock
stop the clock forever

someone could have loved you better
someone should have been the one
but hearts get broken, homes get wrecked
the world's still fallen i expect
still, someone could have loved you better

oh stop the clock
stop the clock
stop the clock forever
oh stop the clock
make it stop
stop that clock forever
when will it end?

someone take this clock and break it
stop the world and then remake it
stop the sorrow, dry the eyes
god knows how but someone try
someone take this clock and break it
take this heart and then remake it

oh stop the clock
stop the clock
stop the clock forever
oh stop the clock
make it stop
you know it's now or never
when will it end?
