The Longest Night

It was the longest night It was the darkest night And we found ourselves by candlelight Talked of the year that's been Where all that time went Prayed we had something to show for it We asked some brilliant questions Wrote down our best intentions We didn't need to speak the words to Make them True Take me back to that moment Where I didn't know What I didn't know Take me back to that moment The one right before the one Where you had to go We let the hours slip by Content to occupy This little corner of the universe That's yours and mine Winter had just begun We were turning toward the sun Let our imaginations run ahead And away with us We made a few confessions, ooh Shared some painful lessons, ooh Vowed to always treat the morning as Brand new Take me back to that moment Where I didn't know What I didn't know Take me back to that moment The one right before the one Where you had to go I hold this memory Like a ticket stub in My jacket pocket Sometimes I'm lucky and My fingers find it On a cold spring afternoon When it's nice to have a little proof Take me back to that moment Where I didn't know What I didn't know Take me back to that moment The one right before the one Where you had to go The one right before the one The one right before the one Where you had to go The one right before the one The one right before the one The one right before the one
