  • Stop the clock, make it stop
    Where'd it go? I don't know

    Stop the clock, make it stop
    Where is that world? Where did it go?

    When I was a young boy, twelve years old
    Growing up in New York city
    I could ride the subway by myself
    Never ever be afraid

    Where did it go?
    And tell me what happened to that world I knew?
    Is it really gone?
    How did we wind up in this place instead?
    Is it really gone?

    Now I have a boy who's twelve and a girl who's nine
    And a son in college and I worry all the time
    Worry about their future, what will it bring?
    'Cause nobody is safe these days

    Where did it go?
    How do we get back to that other place?
    There's got to be a way
    How do we undo a thousand mistakes?
    Gee, there's got to be a way

    Where is that world? Where did it go Writer/s: BURT BACHARACH, BURT F BACHARACH, PRIESE BOARD, PRINTZ BOARD, STEVEN KRIKORIAN
