The day the world stood still One day you came along And spoke so tenderly You kissed me oh, so sweet And gave your love to me One moment in my life I glowed to every thrill Time was a precious thing The day the world stood still For one day in my life You brought me happiness You stopped the lonely world With all your tenderness I can't get over you I guess I never will Time was a precious thing The day the world stood still The day the world stood still And you were only mine I held you close to me And stopped the hand of time I can't get over you I guess I never will Time was a precious thing The day the world stood still
