We were talking by the window
while the evening turned to blue.
You were laughing at a story
I had heard a thousand times from you.
There was music in the kitchen.
There were footsteps on the stairs.
And I never thought to notice
how the sunlight touched your hair.
We've been running through our lives
like there's always more to see.
But tonight I want to stay here
with you right next to me.
Let the evening
last a
little longer.
Let the night
forget to fall.
I don't need another tomorrow
if I can have this moment at all.
Every
little sound around us, every breath we
never planned.
I just want to hold the feeling
before it slips away again.
There are photographs of summers
that we hardly seem to know
faces younger than we remember.
Places we were meant to go.
And the years keep moving quietly
like a train beyond the rain.
We keep saying we'll have time
as if time were ours to save.
So put your hand into mine.
Let the world go where it will.
For once, I don't want to hurry.
I just want to stand still.
Let the evening last
a little longer.
Let the night forget to fall.
I don't need another tomorrow
if I can have this moment all.
Every little sound around us, every
breath we never planned.
I just want to hold the feeling
before it slips away again.
One day these walls will change.
One day we'll speak of this
and wonder how the smallest things
could ever feel like this.
So leave the radio
playing.
Let the coffee lose its heat.
There's nowhere else I need be
when you're sitting here with me.
Let the evening last a
little longer.
Let the morning wait outside.
We don't have to stop the river.
We can simply watch it glide. And if
tomorrow
takes this moment
like it takes the rest away,
I'll be grateful that I saw it
while it was here today.
So, stay a little longer.
Don't say anything.
Let the room grow quiet.
Let the old clock ring.
We'll never
keep the moment,
but we can let it mean
something we'll remember
when we're somewhere we've never been.
