Stop the world
Take a picture
Try to capture
To ensure this moment lasts
We're still in it, but
In a minute -
That's the limit -
And this present will be past
And here we are
Where the world has come together
And she will be
In this picture, forever
[Diane {Nick}] (spoken)
Look at this: five hundred and forty million years ago, the continents of the world crashed together right here; and two hundred million years ago, they separated again, moving apart from each other. {Huh.} But, a little part of them was left behind.
I should move! You're missing all the scenery!
[Nick]
No, no! Stay where you are.
[Diane]
Really?
[Nick]
Really. It's perfect.
[Diane] (sung)
Stop the world
Seize the moment
But the minute he goes you're alone, and it's through
Pinch yourself
Tell yourself:
"You're just dreaming, that means he'll forget about you"
But here we are
Where the continents once crashed together
Before they went their separate ways forever, so
Stop the world
[Nick]
Stop the world
[Diane]
Stop the world
[Nick]
Stop the world
[Diane]
Stop the world
[Both {Company}]
From spinning 'round
{Ahhhh}
I wanna look out
Overlooking something
{Ahhhh}
Worth taking the time
to stop flying by
{And look down}
And look down.
{Stop the world}
Stopping to stare,
{And look 'round}
And look 'round.
{Stop the world}
Just tell them,
{Ahhhh} "now,"
and look down
Take a picture
Of the scenery
Of a lookout
Of a moment
Which is over
Of the ocean
Of the river
Of the trees
Stop the world
