If i caught the world in a bottle and everything was still beneath the moon
without your love would it shine for me
if i was smart as aristotle and understood the rings around the moon
what would it all matter if you love me
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
with a million dreams to fulfill
and a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
not a solitary thing would i fear
except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
If i caught the world in an hourglass
saddled up the moon so we could ride
until the stars grew dim
until
One day you'll meet a stranger and all the noise is silenced in the room
you'll feel that you're close to some mystery
in the moonlight and everything shatters you feel as if you've known her all your life
the world's oldest lesson in history
Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
with a million dreams to fulfill
and a matter of moments until the dancing ends
here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
and not a solitary thing do i fear
except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
Oh if i caught the world in an hourglass
saddled up the moon and we would ride
until the stars grew dim
until the time that time stands still
until
