WHEN THE WORLD STOPS [INTRO — soft, intimate, soulful] When he looks back at me… [PAUSE — 2 seconds of complete silence] the whole world STOPS… stops… stops… stops… stooops… [long echo fades into the music] [soft ad-lib: “mmm… yeah…”] VERSE 1 Folks wish they had a love like this It’s the definition of peace in the storm [ad-lib: “peace in the storm…”] You only get one love like that in your lifetime Never let go Finding your best friend Who you tell all your secrets to Things you keep deep within Never let go [ad-lib: “never…”] You can be your silly self with no judgment Always have your back though it all [ad-lib: “I got you…”] PRE-CHORUS You can laugh, you can cry You can be exactly who you are No pretending, no hiding They already know your heart [ad-lib: “they know me…”] Through the good and the bad Through the sunshine and the rain When you find that kind of love You don’t let it slip away [ad-lib: “no, no…”] CHORUS Never let go… When you find a love like this Never let go… When you find somebody who sees you And still loves you just the same Never let go… You only get one love like that in your lifetime Partying is fun until you go home alone So find your love and never let go [ad-libs: “don’t let go… hold on… yeah…”] VERSE 2 Finding your best friend Who you tell all your secrets to Things you keep deep within And somehow they still understand you You can be your silly self with no judgment Laugh until you can’t laugh no more And when life gets heavy They’re the one you’re looking for [ad-lib: “right there…”] Always have your back though it all That’s the kind of love you hold onto Not everybody gets to find it So when you do… You know what to do [ad-lib: “hold on to it…”] BRIDGE Folks wish they had a love like this It’s the definition of peace in the storm You only get one love like that One love that feels like home And when he looks back at me… [PAUSE — complete silence] the whole world STOPS… stops… stops… stops… stooops… [echo trails off] [whispered ad-lib: “right there…”] FINAL CHORUS Never let go… When you find a love like this Never let go… When you find your best friend The one you can tell everything to Never let go… You only get one love like that in your lifetime Partying is fun until you go home alone So find your love and never let go [soft ad-libs: “never let go… yeah… hold on…”] OUTRO When he looks back at me… [PAUSE] the whole world STOPS… stops… stops… stooops… [long soulful echo fades away] So find your love… and never let go.
