Analysis of Time stands still
Jimmy Dean Hensley 1968 (Salt Lake City)
The majestic fireplace burns within your soothing heart,
as your soul calms the burning flame.
Time is the essence that confines you with every minute
That passes by in every direction you take.
When happiness overwhelms your eyes of passion,
As the night surrenders to your mind.
Time stands still when you think of memories in the past,
As your dreams become more realistic in clarity.
Satisfaction that leaves an impression you desire,
As the lights burning bright with every touch you experience.
Pictures lend a helping hand resting in your eyes,
As the shades of grey takes you away.
When serenity becomes your reality with every
Step you take, Time stands still.
The moments all around you explode with loving
Excitement, that leads you to your destiny
