Can We Just Stop & Talk Awhile

Lea Salonga

Fancy meeting you alone in the crowd 
Couldn't help but notice your smile 
While everybody else around us is going about
 Can we just stop and talk awhile?

I've been often told our world's growing old 
And that friends are harder to find 
Do tell me more about yourself 
We could share a thought or two 
Now who would mind?

Maybe then we could go for a ride 
Drive down to the countryside 
Get away from the gray 
And frenzied hurly-burly of the city life

Early yet to say what lies ahead 
It's the first day of the rest of our lives 
Can we just stop and talk awhile 
Get to know each other 
Who are we to know?
Love could be waiting at the end 'round that bend and so 
Let's stop and talk awhile

Maybe then we could go for a ride 
Drive down to the countryside 
Get away from the gray 
And frenzied hurly-burly of the city life

Early yet to say what lies ahead 
It's the first day of the rest of our lives 
Can we just stop and talk awhile 
Get to know each other 
Who are we to know? 
Love could be waiting at the end 
'round that bend and so 
Let's stop and talk awhile 
Let's stop and talk awhile 
Let's stop and talk awhile 
Let's stop and talk awhile
