Stand Still Lyrics

As I lay here, and I look into your eyes
I see eternity, the question burns in me
How to stay here forevermore
And never leave your side, oh yes, I wonder why
I’ve never wanted anything more than this:
The smell of your perfume and the taste of your kiss;
The feeling of your fingertips as they entangle mine
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to just freeze time…

No, I don’t want no slow motion, ‘cuz it takes too long
I don’t want no fast forward, ‘cuz that’s not where we belong
I don’t want no rewind, ‘cuz I already know what happened and what will
I just wish that time would stand still

Could you promise me that we’d feel the same way
A million years from now, if we survived somehow?
Because honestly, the boundaries of this life
Could not contain my love, there’s just not time enough
Everything that I’ve ever done has been for this:
The smell of your perfume, and the taste of your kiss
But I ain’t just some cowboy, and this ain’t just some fling
Girl, I ain’t gonna blink ‘cuz I don’t wanna miss a thing

No, I don’t want no slow motion, ‘cuz it takes too long
I don’t want no fast forward, ‘cuz that’s not where we belong
I don’t want no rewind, ‘cuz I already know what happened and what will
I just wish that time would stand still

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
