The Longest Time

When the light veils the day, we silently wait
Long enough to hear love's winter song
Then as time slips away in tireless embrace
Dawn to dusk reveals a 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 rephrase
Breathing life where once was only stone

What if every thousand lifetimes captured moments like this
I'd die a 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 left
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

I cried my tears in the dark for the longest time
