Don't Stop Me Now
(Brian Warfield)
Now darkness fills the sky
Where once the summer sun did shine
Where lighter shades of blue were true
And the heavens they were mine
Now they are gone and now I seem to realize
That a storm has entered o'er my paradise

And it stopped the golden sunlight coming throuch my door
And the daybreak never comes just like it did before
Just like it did before

Through the sleepy hours at night
This shady figure fills my door
And casts its magic spell to swell
The memories of my mind
Don't stop me now, I'm the man that on the moon did walk
Don't stop me now, I'm the Jack that climbed the beanstalk

And it stopped the golden sunlight coming throuch my door
And the daybreak never comes just like it did before
Just like it did before

I spoke to it sometimes
And then it would speak back to me
Perhaps now that its me,
You see l'm dreamin' I am me
Don't stop me now, I m a winner in the Olympic Games
Don't stop me now, I'm the circus man that jumps through flames

And it stopped the golden sunlight coming throuch my door
And the daybreak never comes just like it did before
Just like it did before

The hidden drums of silence
Seemed to captivate my busy mind
And spoke to me somehow to show
What world was really mine
Then I awake and find my old familiar things upon the shelf
My watch and tie and signet ring
