William Finn - When the Earth Stopped Turning lyrics

I remember what you said I remember every word I remember how the earth stopped turning We were sitting on the bed And the clock was ticking louder There's the overwhelming smell of powder in the air Everything is skewed Everything is blurred I remember every word I remember how we roared Laughed so hard we almost cried Laughed so long I felt the earth stop turning We were never ever bored And you made us feel amazing We were blazing through our lives like comets through the sky Now that you're not here Everything's awry The world is good, you said Enjoy its highs, you said The summer flies, you said So make a parade Of every moment Now throw away your hate And focus on what's great instead I'm dying so there's no time for debate You said I remember how you smiled You were trying not to smile Then you smiled and the earth stopped turning All the images are filed All the images keep flicking Also all of us are slow at picking up our cues Nothing left to win Nothing more to lose The earth is good, she said Enjoy its sh**, she said 'Cause this is it, she said So make a parade Of every moment Now pull up to the curb The sign "Do not disturb"'s ahead The truth is that you made my life superb She said On a Sunday night in May In a very quiet way I remember how the earth stopped turning Turning Turning Turning
