[English]

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.
