Lyrics Burt Bacharach

Burt Bacharach

Where Did It Go?

Stop the clock, make it stop

Where'd it go? I don't know

Stop the clock, make it stop

Where is that world? Where did it go?

When I was a young boy, twelve years old

Growing up in New York city

I could ride the subway by myself

Never ever be afraid

Where did it go?

And tell me what happened to that world I knew?

Is it really gone?

How did we wind up in this place instead?

Is it really gone?

Now I have a boy who's twelve and a girl who's nine

And a son in college and I worry all the time

Worry about their future, what will it bring?

'Cause nobody is safe these days

Where did it go?

How do we get back to that other place?

There's got to be a way

How do we undo a thousand mistakes?

Gee, there's got to be a way

Where is that world? Where did it go
