Until

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? 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 where everything seems to be clear Not a solitary thing will I fear Except when this moment comes near the dance's end If I caught the world in an hourglass Settled 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 that you're close to some mystery In the moonlight where everything shatters You'll feel as if you've known her all your life The world's greatest 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 where everything seems to be clear Not a solitary thing will I fear Except when this moment comes near the dance's end If I caught the world in an hourglass Settled up the moon so we could ride Until the stars grew dim, until the time That time stands still Until the stars grew dim, until the time That time stands still, until
