Stop the World Tonight Lyrics

Stop the world tonight
Oh let me stay in your arms forever
And when all my dreams
Start to spin
Love, oh love, begin

And it's not like before
Oh this may never happen again
Oh let me hold you
Oh let it begin

And my words of love
They’re spoken in the night
And they're just for you
Darling make it right

Stop the world tonight
'Cause I’m holding my world here in my arms
Oh let me stay
Oh let me stay
Please let me stay

Hear my words of love, let me stay
In my world of love please let me stay, girl
In my world of love oh let me stay now
In my world of love please let me stay, girl...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
