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
