If your life
lets you all the way down
turns you all the way around
think about me

late at night
you don't see your way through
nothin's breakin for you
think about me

cause I can stop the world from hurting
I can hold the waters back
I can take away your yearning
when your life is lookin black to you
there's only me and you

and when will you laugh
there must be an end somewhere
must be an answer there
baby it's me

you're caught in the past
you fears are falling on you
don't you see me here with you
baby it's me

and I can stop the world from hurting
I can hold the waters back
I can take away your yearning
when your life is lookin black to you
there's only me and you

me and you
there's only me and you
i'll stop the world
i'll hold you up
i'll stop the world
i'll make it alright
i'll give you my love
i'll stop the world
we're gonna make it through the night
i'll stop the world
i'll stop the world

it's you and me
oh - ho stop the world
i'll stop the world

baby I can stop the world from hurting
I can hold the waters back
I can take away your yearning
when your life is lookin black to you
