Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

Chicago · Chicago 18 [1986]

He was lost, uncertain

Only she could see

He was waiting for the night to end

And with just one kiss

Brought him back into the light again



He said, "Nothin's gonna stop us now"

He said, "Baby, nothin's gonna stop us now"



But tonight she's waiting

For a stranger's touch

At the dark end of the street

And the whispered words from the sidewalk

They sound so sweet



She said, "Nothin's gonna stop us now"

She said, "Baby, nothin's gonna stop us now"



Look out now 'cause

She'll break your heart again

No one sees what the years

Have failed to mend, yeah



Standin' there beneath the streetlight

Telling secrets in the darkest night

Heaven's just a stolen kiss away, yeah



Nothin's gonna stop us now



Look out now 'cause

She'll break your heart again

No one sees what the years

Have failed to mend, yeah



Standin' there beneath the streetlight

Telling secrets in the darkest night

Heaven's just a stolen kiss away, yeah



And her look, it lingers

On a restless night

When you're back on the street again

With his empty dreams

There's another broken heart to mend



He said, "Nothin's gonna stop us now"

Whoa, nothin's gonna stop us now

Nothin's gonna stop us



She said, "Nothin's gonna stop us now"

Whoa, Nothin's gonna stop us now

Nothin's gonna stop us



Oh, my pretty baby

Nothin's gonna stop us now
