Have you ever stopped to wonder
What kind of place this would be
If the whole world stopped loving
The way you stopped loving me
If every heart was broken
The way that you broke my own
And the whole world stopped loving
How long would living go on
Hear the church bells in the steeple
As they ring their song through the air
If the whole world stopped loving
There’d be no steeple bells there
The tears would fill the rivers
Till the rivers flooded the sea
If the whole world stopped loving
The way you stopped loving me.
