Sting - Until

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 solit'ry 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, when everything shadows you
You'll 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, everything seems to be clear
Not a solit'ry 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...
