There must be a moment, a second, for us

Somewhere in the aeons of time,

A minute we’d steal from eternity’s cup,

Even if damned for the crime.

The relentless advance of the hands of the clock

I would stop for an hour, I swear,

That recess enough to be all we can be,

An age would pass by while we’re there.

I’d fearlessly grapple with old Father Time

To win us a day with our love,

To fulfill the destiny written for us

In the pages of annals above.

An audience with the great Time Lords I’d seek

I’d crave that they bend to my task,

To grant us one week in this lifetime so fleet

Seven days – is that too much to ask?

If I could stop time – if for only a month

My happiness would surpass reason,

And please, is it too much to ask of the Moon

To grant us just one summer season?

I would fall to my knees and contract with the Gods,

Yes, someone as pagan as I,

If they could endow us one year of our troth

I would worship them all till I die.

The rest of my life I would gladly lay down

The mountains of ever I’d climb,

If we had that magical moment of love,

We’d stay there, suspended in time.
