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
lfyou loved me
Here in your arms with the world
Is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfil
And a 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 noise
Is silenced in the room
You'll feel that you're close
To some mystery
In the moonlight
Everything shatters
You feel as if
You've known her all your life
The world's oldest lesson
In history
Here in your arms with the world
Is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfil
And a 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
Oh 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
