Time Stand Still!

The music's long been turned off,
the band's already at home.
Only I'm still sitting here
with a couple friends,
a couple beers.
 
There's drinking and laughing
and story telling through out the night
and I lean back for a bit
and savor my joy.
 
These are the moments
where I, if I could,
I would wish
that they'd never go away.
 
Dear old times,
stay still for bit,
rest for a while,
because it's so nice right now.
 
Let us stay in the here and now
Hold up all the clocks,
This is the moment that we want
for the next 100 years.
 
We haven't seen each other for a long time,
almost half a year.
We needed time and distance
and now she's here again.
 
With a suitcase in hand,
and a smile on her face.
And I take her in my arms
and hold her close.
 
These are the moments
where I, if I could,
I would wish
that they'd never go away.
 
Dear old times,
stay still for bit,
rest for a while,
because it's so nice right now.
 
Let us stay in the here and now
Hold up all the clocks,
This is the moment that we want
for the next 100 years.
 
An unhoped for reunion
a smile in passing
an argument reconciled
a sickness survived.
 
A wonderful novelty,
The balance in overtime,
So many instants
go by so fast.

Dear old times,
stay still for bit,
rest for a while,
because it's so nice right now.
 
Let us stay in the here and now
Hold up all the clocks,
This is the moment that we want
for the next 100 years.
