Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.
The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is “listen.”
Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart) is a soul song written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed that was originally recorded by the Philadelphia soul group the Stylistics.
An R&B ballad, it was the first track from their 1971 debut self-titled album (and first major hit) and was released as a single in 1971 and reached #39 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. In addition, it also climbed to #6 in the Billboard R&B chart.
Motown stars Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross released their version of the same song on their duet album in 1974 as a UK-only single and that version also is part of the 2001 film, Bridget Jones’ Diary.
Enjoy!

Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)
by The Stylistics
Songwriters: Thom Bell, Linda Creed
You’re alone all time
Does it ever puzzle you, have you asked why
You seem to fall in love, out again
Do you ever really love or just pretend
Why fool yourself
Don’t be afraid to help yourself
It’s never too late, too late to
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it’s saying
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it’s saying
Love, love, love
Though you try, you can’t hide
All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you will open up, let it in
There’s no shame in sharing love you keep within
So jump on in
Head over heels, and fall right in
It’s never too late too late to
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it’s saying
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it’s saying
Love, love, love
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it’s saying (Listen to your heart, can’t
You see it’s not too late)
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it’s saying (La, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it’s saying (Listen to your heart, can’t
You see it’s not too late)
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it’s saying

A smooth, mellow blast to the past. First time hearing this but I remember they also sang “Bet you by Golly Wow”. Great Sunday listening
