one perfect eve

The streetlights flicker in the quiet lane

Your hand is warm beneath the falling rain

We walk in circles just to buy some time

To keep your shadow locked inside of mine

And every tick of the clock is a sigh

How do we say goodbye? (ahhhh)

Hold this moment, let the world stand still

If the morning comes,

I know it will

But for tonight, let the dark embrace Every line of your beautiful

face

(don't let go)

The hours are slipping like the desert sand

I trace the patterns on your open hand

We speak in whispers so the dawn won't hear

And chase away the rising of our fear

If we could freeze the turning of the earth

And measure what this fragile light is worth

We'd stay right here and never look away

Beyond the border of the coming day

Hold this moment, let the world stand still If the morning comes,

I know it will

But for tonight, let the dark embrace Every line of your beautiful

face (stay with me)

Just one beautiful night

Before the morning light (mmm-mmm)
