Lyrics
My watch stopped at three It stopped in the night I did not wind it I let it be The hands are still The glass is bright Nowhere I have to be Let the hands stay still Let the hands stay still Time can rest a while Time can rest a while Let the hands stay still The clock on the wall Is going without me The street is asleep And I am too No hurry at all No place I must be Only the quiet and you Let the hands stay still Let the hands stay still Time can rest a while Time can rest a while Let the hands stay still Three o'clock Three o'clock Soft and slow Soft and slow Let the hands stay still Let the hands stay still Time can rest a while Time can rest a while Let the hands stay still Time can rest a while Let the hands stay still
