Lyrics: There’s No Stoppin’ Your Heart

Woke up this mornin’ with you by my side
Thought I was dreamin’ with my eyes wide open
I had to touch you and feel you near, are you really here?

I plan to be the one who sticks around
Ooh, your love can lift me up above the clouds
I get so high when I’m with you, I may never come down

When forever starts
There’s no stoppin’, no stoppin’
No stoppin’ your heart

Like a river it just keeps on rolling
‘Til it fills you up to overflow
And there’s no stoppin’, no stoppin’
No stoppin’ your heart

When you touch me it’s like paradise
Tropical islands and soft moonlight all night
It’s almost like fallin’ in love for the very first time

When forever starts
There’s no stoppin’, no stoppin’
No stoppin’ your heart

Like a river it just keeps on rollin’
‘Til it fills you up to overflow
And there’s no stoppin’, no stoppin’
No stoppin’ your heart

When you really found it
There’s no doubt about it
There’s no stoppin’, no stoppin’
No stoppin’ your heart

Like a river it just keeps on rollin’
‘Til it fills you up to overflow
And there’s no stoppin’, no stoppin’
No stoppin’ your heart

Whoa, like a river it just keeps on rollin’
‘Til it fills you up to overflow
And there’s no stoppin’, no stoppin’
No stoppin’ your heart
