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
