The night once was young
Just like you and I
And love we thought we’d never lose
A picture of perfection
We painted on our eyes
Always looking for something new
And now time has dealt its hand
And here we are still standing
Waiting for our ships to come in
And the streets are getting lonely
And the the wind whispers if only
Well maybe it’s time for if only to begin
So raise up your flag
Put the moon in your sack
Forgive and let go and never look back
Cause time won’t wait for us
To get it perfectly right
So if you’re willing
I’ll dance with you tonight
Dance wait you tonight
And I can see that you’ve
Been here as long as I
So many times fell from this carousel
The tears in our clothing
Every bump from the ride
We’ve got to know ourselves far too well
So darling life is short
And the sun is moving faster
So put your lipstick on
Or we’re headed for disaster
And I think it’s safe to say that
We’re both a work in progress
So let’s put down our pride
Before we miss the boat again
So raise up your flag
Put the moon in your sack
Forgive and let go and never look back
Cause time won’t wait for us
To get it perfectly right
So if you’re willing
I’ll dance with you tonight
Put stars in your flask
Tell the band to play
Stop waiting around for the perfect sunny day
Let’s make love in the rain
Leave the time behind
And I promise to you
I’ll stay this time
Stay this time
Stay this time
Stay this time…
