Analysis of Stop Look and Listen
Albert Browning 1943 (Puritan Mines, WV)
Stop, look and listen to a heart that's beating true
Stop, look and listen to what It's telling you.
Stop, look and listen my heart beats just for you
Stop, look and listen for it's saying I love you.
This road we're traveling on there is no turning back
So many intersections, so many different paths.
Stop look and listen, stay on the right track
Stop, look and listen a pure love will not come back.
So many false lovers they're hiding in disguise
Say no to other lovers please don't be unwise.
So many temptations they're big as the sky
If you take a false lover it will only make you cry.
Yes, stop, look and listen for It's saying I love you.
