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 loved me?



In your arms the 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 solit'ry thing would I fear

Except when this moment

comes near the dancings' end



If I caught the world in an hourglass

that loved 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, when everything shadows you

You feel as if you've known her all your life

The worlds' 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, everything seems to be clear

Not a solit'ry thing do I fear

Except when this moment comes near the dancings' end



If I caught the world in an hourglass

and up the moon we would ride

until the stars grew dim

Until the time that time stands still

Until
