Joni Mitchell How Do You Stop
(written by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight) © 1986 EMI Blackwood Music Inc./Janiceps Music BMI/ EMI April Music Inc./Second Nature Music Inc. ASCAP Hard bodies Soft emotions So fast So smart The world is at your feet But what about your heart? Fame and fortune can't hold you tight In the late late hours of the night How do you stop Before it's too late? You choose and you lose If you hesitate How do you stop Before it's too late? You think love will wait So you don't hold on And then it's gone You've had success- Lots of fancy friends You've tasted the good life You thought it would never end One day you're too young Then you're in your prime Then you're looking back at the hands of time How do you stop Before it's too late? You choose and you lose If you hesitate How do you stop Before it's too late? You think love will wait So you don't hold on And then it's gone How 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 stop Before it's too late? You choose and you lose If you hesitate How do you stop Before it's too late? How do you stop? You're lost if you hesitate ... How do you stop Love from slipping away? How do you stop Before it's too late?
