Time Stood Still
Madonna · Other Songs - Madonna
is what I feel for you
I loved you from the very start
what else could I do
You read my mind
You made me cry
Time stood still
And now I know the reasons why
Time stood still
Maybe you're the next best thing to happen
all the things we might have been
A flame becomes a fading light
that burns inside my heart
and like a castle in the sand
we had to fall apart
you made me laugh
you gave me hope
it's over now
our happiness went up in smoke
it's over now
maybe your the next best thing to happen
all the things we might have been
maybe your the next best thing to happen
all the things we might have been
