Until...

Sting





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 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 and everything shatters

You feel as if you've known her all your life

The world's oldest 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 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...
