Time Stood Still
[BAND ON THE RECORD]
I know it sounds crazy
I've gotta say it though
'Cause something happened, baby
Something really weird
The minute you appeared
[LUCÍA]
The clocks on the wall stopped
They weren't broken
But I know why they all stopped
You gave me such a thrill
That time stood still
And when the world stopped spinning
I thought that was fine
A natural thing to do
And I cannot stop grinning
Just knowing you're mine
And now I wanna take a pause
And say it's all because
Of you that the rain stopped
And all the worries that were
Filling up my brain stopped
Since I took your pill
[LUCÍA & ENSEMBLE]
Time stood still
Time stood still
The birdies in the trees stopped
Their singing and the
Busy little bees stopped their stinging
And the fishies in the seas
The wild winter breeze
[LUCÍA]
The shaking in my knees
And I'm looking at the reason
[The record starts skipping. Lost in time, Lucía picks up a photo of Iván and stares at it.]
[BAND ON THE RECORD]
Looking at the reason
Looking at the reason
Looking at the reason
Looking at the reason
Looking at the reason
[LUCÍA]
I don't want to know what is real
What's solid as steel
Realities haunt me
I'd give up my sanity for
Just five minutes more
Of thinking you want me
Tell me you're waiting back at home for me
Say you'll be there when I arrive…
[The sound of the skipping record is again heard, as Lucía returns to the present.]
[BAND ON THE RECORD]
Looking at the reason
Looking at the reason
Looking at the reason
Looking at the reason
Looking at the reason
[LUCÍA]
If you think it seems strange, stop
If you're thinking that it's ever gonna change, stop
It never will
It never will
It never will
Because
[LUCÍA & ENSEMBLE]
Time stood still
Time stood still
Time stood still
Time stood still
