Album: The Next Best Thing

Time Stood Still [Madonna]

Despair, regret, and tenderness

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

[Chorus:]

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

It 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

[chorus, repeat]

[chorus, repeat]
