The Longest Time
THE LONGEST TIME
When the light fails the day, we silently wait
Long enough to hear love's winter song
Then as time slips away in tireless embrace
Dawn and dusk reveals the splintered throng
Getting closer now than ever in this world changing bliss
Much deeper and beyond the lips I kiss
My heart beats in time with the love I feel tonight
The twilight hears
Every lark has a song
The stars peer and shine on a love revered, entwined
I cried my tears in the dark
For the longest time
In the half light decay, our hands guide the way
Feed the fire
The power of flesh and bone
In your eyes rise the flames in tidal refrains
Breathing life where once was only stone
What if every thousand lifetimes captured moments like this
I die the thousand times that you might live
My heart beats in time with the love I feel tonight
The twilight hears
Every lark has a song
The stars peer and shine on a love revered, entwined
I cried my tears in the dark
For the longest time
If tonight could last forever and these dreams never lift
I'd cherish every moment of this gift
My heart beats in time with the love I feel tonight
The twilight hears
Every lark has a song
The stars peer and shine on a love revered, entwined
I cried my tears in the dark
For the longest time
