No Way to Stop It Lyrics by Laura Benanti, Christian Borle, Stephen Moyer (Actor)

The Sound of Music (Music from the 2013 NBC Television Event)

2013

[ELSA]
You dear attractive dewy-eyed idealist
Today you have to learn to be a realist
[MAX]
You may be bent on doing deeds of derring-do
But up against a shark, what can a herring do?
[ELSA]
Be wise, compromise
[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
Compromise and be wise
[ELSA]
Let them think you're on their side, be noncommittal
[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
I will not bow my head to the men I despise
[MAX]
You won't have to bow your head, just stoop a little
[ELSA]
Why not learn to put your faith and your reliance
On an obvious and simple fact of science?
A crazy planet full of crazy people
Is somersaulting all around the sky
And every time it turns another somersault
Another day goes by
And there's no way to stop it
No, there's no way to stop it
No, you can't stop it even if you tried
So I'm not going to worry
No, I'm not going to worry
Every time I see another day go by
[MAX]
While somersaulting at a cockeyed angle
We make a cockeyed circle 'round the sun
And when we circle back to where we started from
Another year has run
[ELSA & MAX]
And there's no way to stop it
No, there's no way to stop it
If the earth wants to roll around the sun
You're a fool if you worry
You're a fool if you worry
Over anything but little number one
[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
That's you
[ELSA]
That's I
[MAX]
And I
[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
And me
That all absorbing character
[ELSA]
That fascinating creature
[MAX]
That super special feature
[ELSA, MAX & CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
Me
[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
So every star on every whirling planet
And every constellation in the sky
Revolve around the center of the universe
A lovely thing called I
[ELSA & MAX]
And there's no way to stop it
No, there's no way to stop it
And I know, though I cannot tell you why
[CAPTAIN VON TRAPP, spoken]
That's charming
[ELSA & MAX]
Just as long as I'm living
[ELSA, MAX & CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
Just as long as I'm living
There'll be nothing else as wonderful as I
I, I, I
Nothing else as wonderful as I
