ASCAPHard bodiesSoft emotionsSo fastSo smartThe world is at your feetBut what about your heart?Fame and fortune can't hold you tightIn the late late hours of the nightHow do you stopBefore it's too late?You choose and you loseIf you hesitateHow do you stopBefore it's too late?You think love will waitSo you don't hold onAnd then it's goneYou've had success-Lots of fancy friendsYou've tasted the good lifeYou thought it would never endOne day you're too youngThen you're in your primeThen you're looking back at the hands of timeHow do you stopBefore it's too late?You choose and you loseIf you hesitateHow do you stopBefore it's too late?You think love will waitSo you don't hold onAnd then it's goneHow do you stop a runaway train?How do you stop the driving rain?How do you stop the ripening corn?How do you stop a baby being born?How do you stopBefore it's too late?You choose and you loseIf you hesitateHow do you stopBefore it's too late?How do you stop?You're lost if you hesitate ...How do you stopLove from slipping away?How do you stopBefore it's too late?
