Until... (Sting)

[crystalsphere79]

If I caught the world in a bottle

And everything was still beneath the Moon

Without your love

Would 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?



Here in your arms

Where the world is impossibly steel

With a million dreams to fulfill

And the 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 noises silenced in the room

You’ll feel like you’re caught 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 steel

With a million dreams to fulfill

And the matter of moments until the dancing ends



Here in your arms

When everything seems to be clear

Not a solitary thing do I fear

Except when this moment comes near the dancing’s end



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...
