Paperback Moonlight

The shadows on the wall are still

The world outside is fast asleep

But here with you,

the moments fill

A promise that we want to keep (hmmm)

And every breath you take

is soft and slow

I wish the morning light would never show

Can we

just hold the stars tonight?

And freeze the ticking of the clock?

In your arms,

the world is right

Before the morning starts to knock (aaaah)

Your hand in mine,

a quiet space

The hours slip away like sand

I trace the outline

of your face

And hope that time will understand

Can we

just hold the stars tonight?

And freeze the ticking of the clock?

In your arms,

the world is right

Before the morning starts to knock (aaaah)

Just one more hour in the dark...

Before the dawn...
