Eternity
If today could last forever,
I’d hold it in my hand,
To keep at heart, without fear of reprimand.
If today could last forever,
I’d watch it on repeat,
Just to see the perfect time
When we can finally meet.
If today could last forever,
I’d live it every night,
Sitting with you by firelight,
Watching in case we might,
See a falling star on which to tie a dream,
As we hold each other tight,
Far away from what we have to fight,
When surrounded by city’s lights.
If today could last forever,
I’d keep it close by me,
With nowhere I’d rather be,
Then by the lakeside,

Where we’ve all the time to bide,
Under a starry sky that’s oh so wide,
A million memories to make,
A thousand chances to take,
If only today could last forever.
I’d spend it all with you.
Nowhere I’d rather be,
Nothing I’d rather do,
Then have you side by side with me,
Arm in arm,
Or hand in hand,
Misty mornings,
And clear cool nights,
I’d live them all,
And hold the quiet moments always,
In my heart of hearts,
If only we could make today last forever.
Fin.
