If I could take a photograph of all the colors or even a shade of what it's like to see you smile

I would place them in this chest with all the others

I would lock it away inside my head, so you could stay a while

But would you stand here next to me?

Because every second you’re away is eternity

And I know

Every clock seems like it's laughing back at me

In every tick, a moment lost. Every hand cuts endlessly

If I could break them all and leave us in the beauty of the still

I would hold you close, I would hold you close

I always will

Would you stand here next to me?

Because every second you’re away is eternity

And I know you can choose anyone to be with you

Oh, but darling, would you stand here next to me?

Silence is golden, until your world comes crashing down

I'm stranded. I need you now

But would you stand here next to me?

Because every second you’re away is eternity

Would you stand here next to me?

Because every second you’re away is eternity

And I know you can choose anyone to be with you

Oh, but darling, would you stand here next to me?

I know
