Lyrics Stop the World for a Day - The Twilights

Stop the World for a Day

Cast out like horses grazing
People are sleeping dazing
Dreaming of life but saving
Thinking of children naming
Houses and hotels standing
City with lights demanding
People are moving freely
Breathing and laughing easy
If I could stop the world for a day and find a way to get out
I won’t think twice about people that say I’m running away
To find the life I want to live in, believe in, and stay
I must get away
To find a dream I’ve always wanted for my own
I’m running away
Cellophane paper wrapping
Music and feet all tapping
Standing in bus queues sadly
The rain it is pouring madly
Accusing and judging people
Saying I must be evil
Can’t find the sense in talking
Guess I’ll just keep on walking
If I could stop the world for a day and find a way to get out
I won’t think twice about people that say I’m running away
To find a life I want to live in, believe in, and stay
I must get away
To find a dream I’ve always wanted for my own
I’m running away
Life is so nice
Don’t think twice
Just let me be to climb my tree
I might fall down
There’ll be no frown across my face
Yes it’s too late
