Until by Sting (Song of the moment)

If I caught the world in a bottle
And everything was still
Beneath the moon
Without your love would it shine for me?
If I was smart as Aristotle
And understood the rings around the moon
What would it all matter
If you loved me?

Here in your arms
Where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until
The dancing ends
Here in your arms
When everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing would I fear
Except when this moment comes
Near the dancing's end

If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon
So we could ride
Until
The stars grew dim
Until...

One day
You'll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
You'll feel that you're close to some mystery
In the moonlight
And everything shatters
You feel as if
You've known her all your life
The world's oldest lesson in history

Here in your arms
Where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until
The dancing ends
Here in your arms
When everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes
Near the dancing's end

Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon
And we would ride
Until
The stars grew dim
Until
The time that time stands still
Until...
