DAY THE WORLD STOOD STILL
(Jerry Foster / Bill Rice)

One day you came along and spoke so tenderly
You kissed me, oh, so sweet and gave your love to me
One moment in my life I clung to ev'ry thrill
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still


For one day in my life you brought me happiness
You stopped the lonely world with all your tenderness
I can't get over you, I guess I never will
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still


The day the world stood still and you were only mine
I held you close to me and stopped the hands of time
I can't get over you, I guess I never will
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still
Time was a precious thing the day the world stood still
