Your hair falls soft around your face, And this feels like the perfect place. You smile as you reach out your hand, And I know I'm a lucky man. Then as I kiss you once again, I pray this night won't ever end. [Chorus] If I could stop the hands of time, I'd keep you here and you'd be mine. I'd never see the light of day, And have to watch you walk away. I'd give up everything I own, To keep from waking up alone. I'd hold you close with all my might, And spend forever, here tonight. [Verse 2] As sunlight creeps in through the shades, This lovely dream begins to fade. I reach across an empty bed, With thoughts of you still in my head. Your pillow's there beside my own, But I still wake up here alone. That's when reality comes through, And I remember I've lost you. [Chorus] If I could stop the hands of time, I'd keep you here and you'd be mine. I'd never see the light of day, And have to watch you walk away. I'd give up everything I own, To keep from waking up alone. I'd hold you close with all my might, And spend forever, here tonight. [Bridge] I guess these dreams are all I've got, 'Cause you're somewhere that I am not, So every night I try once more To dream of how we were before. [Chorus] If I could stop the hands of time, I'd keep you here and you'd be mine. I'd never see the light of day, And have to watch you walk away. I'd give up everything I own, To keep from waking up alone. I'd hold you close with all my might, And spend forever, here tonight. [Outro]
