Lyrics
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
