Time stands still …
When your heart misses a beat
When your child cries at your feet
When you fall from grace
When life hits you, hard, hard in the face.
Time stands still when …
Hearts cry
Butterflies die
Rivers run dry
Oceans collide.

Time stands still when …
Swords cross
Tempers flare
Enemies attack.
Time stands still …
Stand still
Stand alone
Stand together
Stand down.
Still no longer exists … when time has passed you by. Goodbye time. Leave a little time to cry. Goodbye to time. Twas fun. Goodbye time. Goodbye friend, God they were good times. Time that I wished wouldn’t end. Oh, I miss you, Time, but you weren’t really mine in the end.
