Until - Lyrics by Sting


Lyrics
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...
