Verse 1:
When the evening settles softly,
And the noise of life grows still,
I can feel you in my dreaming,
Like a song against my will.
There's a sweetness in your nearness,
There's a storm beneath your calm,
And I wonder how you manage
To make heaven of your arms.
Every glance becomes a promise,
Every silence draws me near,
And the things I dare not tell you
Say themselves when you are here.
If the night could last forever,
If the stars would hold their place,
I'd be lost inside this feeling,
Finding home within your embrace.
Chorus:
Oh, love me slow, love me deep,
Be the dream I never want to leave.
You're the fire that sets me free,
You're the sweetest part of me.
Let the music play, let the whole world fade,
Let me love you without being afraid.
Through the dark, through the light,
Be my morning, be my night.
Verse 2:
Let the records spin in circles,
Let the afternoon drift by,
I'll be laughing at my little games,
Stealing glances from your eyes.
We'll have a thousand little moments,
Little jokes that no one knows,
And the kind of quiet tenderness
That only deeper loving grows.
Then you'll draw me just a little closer,
And the room will disappear,
All the ordinary things we do
Will become the things I hold dear.
For it's more than just the wanting,
More than sparks beneath the skin;
It's the peace of being wanted,
It's the place where I begin.
Chorus:
Oh, love me slow, love me deep,
Be the dream I never want to leave.
You're the fire that sets me free,
You're the sweetest part of me.
Let the music play, let the whole world fade,
Let me love you without being afraid.
Through the dark, through the light,
Be my morning, be my night.
Bridge:
And what if all this fire is forever?
What if all these dreams come true?
What if every road I've wandered
Was a road that led to you?
I don't only want your midnight,
I want your ordinary days,
I want to be the one beside you
When the years have changed our ways.
When the world has worn you weary,
When the laughter disappears,
Let me be the arms that hold you,
Let me be the one still here.
For the passion may start the story,
But it's love that makes it stay;
And I'd choose you in a thousand lives,
In a thousand different ways.
Final Chorus:
Oh, love me slow, love me deep,
You're the promise that my heart will keep.
You're the fire, you're the peace,
You're the place where my restless soul can sleep.
Let the music play, let the years roll by,
Let me see your love in every sunrise.
Through the storms, through the light,
I'll keep choosing you each night.
Oh, hold me close, don't let me go,
There's a thousand things I want you to know.
You're not just the dream that sets me free,
You're the life I want to live with me.
And if time should steal our yesterday,
If our youth should slowly fade away,
Let my final words be simple and true:
I would still fall in love with you.
Outro:
When the music fades to silence,
When the last stars leave the blue,
I'll still find a thousand reasons
To keep coming home to you.
No grand promise, no perfect day,
Just your hand in mine, come what may.
And if forever has a face I know,
It's the one I kiss before we let go.
