Slow Down Time

People come and people go, the world turns
no one ever stays, nothing lasts
of all the people I’ve ever known, you are the one
please don’t go away, don’t move so fast.

Slow down time. Stay here
Slow down time. Stay, stay...

Say hello to this good morning from our new bed
let your fingertips trace my lips
take my hand and walk with me to the river’s edge
we'll stand in the shining stream, bow down our heads.

(We can) Slow down time. Stay here.
Slow down time. Stay, stay...



Before you slip away before you disappear
I’ll throw my arms ‘round the sun and hold it here
no moon, no stars, no evening sky, no midnight tears
as long as I have the light I can keep you near.

(I can) Slow down time. Stay here.
Slow down time. Stay, stay....

Slow down time. Stay here.
Slow down time. Stay here.
