Lyrics
Stop, Look and Listen To Your Heart
I?ve known for quite awhile that you want me to set you free
and now you tell me that it?s time to go
The world outside is not as kind as what you have at home
So please remember these few words I told you not so long ago
You?d better stop, look and listen to your heart
Be careful who you turn to when the teardrops start
There?s lots of danger on the street
You?ll never know who you might meet
So stop, look and listen to your heart
I?ve always tried to do my best to keep you safe from harm
But I knew this day would soon arrive
You know I?ll always love you and I?d gladly take you back
But for now I feel it?s best to keep this thought in mind
