I know what they say

About moving on

About the way of life

And how time flies

I know there is much to do

But may I linger here awhile?

I know how things

Must come and go

How we must do

What we can do

To carry on

I know how all things change

But may I linger here awhile?

Let me linger for a while

Here where time stands still

And there is just you and I,

Where the sun begins to rise

As we walk along the shore

Where the breeze is gentle

And where the waves are kind.

Let me linger here with you

Where all is pure and rare

Where we need not hurry

Where we need not worry

Where we can let all

the beautiful things in

and leave all the shadows behind.

Let us linger here while we can

Let us etch this moment

Until it can never be erased.

For here is where I see

Here is where I live

Here is where I have you

And you have all of me.
