If My World Stopped Turning was the Irish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in Istanbul performed by Chris Doran.
Because of their 11th-place finish the previous year, under the new rules Ireland did not have to compete in the semifinal. In the final, the song was performed 18th following Iceland and preceding Poland. At the close of voting, it finished in 22nd place with 7 points (all from the United Kingdom), thus requiring the country to qualify through the semi-final at their next Contest appearance.

I can see my future
When I'm looking in your eyes
And I can sense security
Just by you being in my life
I hear a voice inside my head
Say you're an angel in disguise
Without you I feel hopeless
Without you I'm deprived
I wish I could describe it
All the love I feel inside
Maybe I can find the words
That will make you realize
My life seems near perfect
When I've got you in my arms
Cause that's when I feel wholesome
That's then I'm with you
If my world stopped turning in the morning
And if God should take this all away
If it all should stop without a warning
I would still stand tall
Cause behind it all
You're the one who's made
A winner out of me
All day I long to touch you
And it comes as a surprise
That we spent so long apart
Even more than I survived
And if I'm speaking frankly
There's only one thing I can say
That I'm falling for you baby
Falling further every day
If my world stopped turning in the morning
And if God should take this all away
And if it all should stop without a warning
I would still stand tall
Cause behind it all
You've made me a winner
If my world stopped turning in the morning
And if God should take this all away
If it all should stop without a warning
I would still stand tall
Cause behind it all
You're the one who's made
A winner out of me
