Analysis of Stop Time

Amy Myers 1979 (Texas)



I want time to pause when I’m next to you,
My heart skips a beat because of the little things you do.

I finally feel safe and secure,
Because I know this feeling you give me is pure.

Please stop the clock so I can show you,
Your my everything and how I know your value.

As our countdown begins and you kiss me, I know
Forever is all I see as my love begins to grow.

Don’t ever stop being this man I adore,
Hold me closer, tighter and love me more.

Broken clocks surrounds us as I am in your heart,
You spoil me with your thoughts even when we’re apart.

I know time never stops but let me just say what I need to say,
You show me what love really feels like every step of the way.

Thank you for the never ending journey we are capturing together,
Love me.. hold me.. kiss me .. be my forever
