The Longest Night

It was the longest night
It was the darkest night
And we found ourselves by candlelight

Talked of the year that's been
Where all that time went
Prayed we had something to show for it

We asked some brilliant questions
Wrote down our best intentions
We didn't need to speak the words to
Make them
True

Take me back to that moment
Where I didn't know
What I didn't know
Take me back to that moment
The one right before the one
Where you had to go

We let the hours slip by
Content to occupy
This little corner of the universe
That's yours and mine

Winter had just begun
We were turning toward the sun
Let our imaginations run ahead
And away with us

We made a few confessions, ooh
Shared some painful lessons, ooh
Vowed to always treat the morning as
Brand new

Take me back to that moment
Where I didn't know
What I didn't know
Take me back to that moment
The one right before the one
Where you had to go

I hold this memory
Like a ticket stub in
My jacket pocket
Sometimes I'm lucky and
My fingers find it
On a cold spring afternoon
When it's nice to have a little proof

Take me back to that moment
Where I didn't know
What I didn't know
Take me back to that moment
The one right before the one
Where you had to go

The one right before the one
The one right before the one
Where you had to go

The one right before the one
The one right before the one
The one right before the one
