Time Stops

Rewind the clock to the day when I met you in the nick of time Our hearts were beating to the rhythm of a pendulum, your hand in mine We cranked the winder, watched the wheels turning The starry cogs in the sky I'm not saying that we were distracted But in the end, half passed us by We were kids, we didn't think that we were old enough to Do what we did, which was to find the ones we were to love But somewhere down deep inside, I felt our destinies were synchronising Looking into your eyes, I was alarmed to see you felt it too Time stops when I'm holding your hand An hourglass with static sand Took a second to think about everything that I thought I wanted in a wife My dear, you're ticking my boxes as you're just talking about your life I could spend forever just gazing into your beautiful brown eyes Your face is so breathtaking that I find that time just flies Even now, I feel a desperate longing to fulfil our wedding vows I am struck by how you haven't changed But left to my own devices, I'd be counting down until the moment My heart recognises that all along I've dreamt of you Time stops when I'm holding your hand An hourglass with static sand Time is irrelevant when you're travelling with me down the road of life So let's lie here just for the hell of it And watch the daylight drift by on the waves of night Rewind Time stops when I'm holding your hand An hourglass with static sand Time stops when I'm holding your hand An hourglass with static sand Time stops
