Sting - Until 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?

In your arms the 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 dancings' end

If I caught the world in an hourglass
that loved 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 feel as if you've known her all your life
The worlds' 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 dancings' end

If I caught the world in an hourglass
and up the moon we would ride
until the stars grew dim
Until the time that time stands still
Until
