Bells

Midnight The choir left an hour ago Their voices still hang in the air Candles flicker in the silence And somehow we're still standing here Moonlight falls through stained glass windows Blue and gold across the floor In this empty old cathedral Time doesn't move anymore The bells keep counting every minute But neither one of us lets go Stay until the bells go silent Stay until the echoes fade Don't let this night turn into memory Don't walk away Stay until the bells go silent Stay until the candles fade The whole world's waiting outside But heaven feels closer this way Stay Stay until the bells go silent You take my hand without a word And suddenly this room feels small Like every prayer ever whispered here Was leading to this after all Your shadow moves beside the altar Slow as dust inside the light For a second I could swear We've known this moment all our lives Maybe every lasting love Begins in borrowed time Stay until the bells go silent Stay until the echoes fade Don't let this night turn into memory Don't walk away Stay until the bells go silent Stay until the candles fade The whole world's waiting outside But heaven feels closer this way Stay Stay until the bells go silent Soon the morning will arrive And this sacred quiet will be gone But if you stay here one more minute I'll carry this night my whole life long Stay until the bells go silent Stay until the echoes fade Don't let this night turn into memory Don't walk away Stay until the bells go silent Stay until the candles fade The whole world's waiting outside But heaven feels closer this way Stay Till the bells go silent
