The sun descending, Watching its colors
shimmering falls and Indigo shades
The scent of evening, Just after rainfall It smells like home
A flare of sunlight Into the sea
Then it is gone
A flare of sunlight Under the sea
Then it is gone
The reason I’m telling you now
The reason I’m telling you
If we could freeze the moment
(perfect, perfect) A perfect still
And if we could seize the moment
(perfect, perfect) A perfect still
Magnificent sight, sight
A drowsing comfort
But a sight, what a sight
Scan the horizon
For last rays of sunlight
To reach your face
Evening shadows
Come from their shelters and out to play
Until the dawn comes
To raise its terror
And breach the sky
We’ll be here waiting
Silence surrounds us
One last goodbye Then it is gone
The reason I’m telling you
I need this now, I need this now
The reason I’m telling you
If we could freeze the moment
(perfect, perfect) A perfect still
And if we could seize the moment
(perfect, perfect) A perfect still
Magnificent sight, sight
A drowsing comfort
But a sight, what a sight
Scratch your finger
over the surface
What will you find
A taste of the future, yesterday’s over
It’s behind the veil, Tomorrow’s ashes
Reveal the secret, It is too late
This is our payment, For all believers
And all who won’t, And everyone who’s watched
People looking up to the once beautiful sky
And wishing for more days, as this day rushes by
Reminisce, days they already miss
"I did not think much of it at the time... I remember doing the stuff I always do. Nothing out of the ordinary, it was a day like so many before... But suddenly it occurred to me it wasn't. I needed to go outside, absorb the world as I knew it. Birds screamed in deafening silence. And as a windless twilight fell upon us in slow motion, I needed to capture that moment. Lost in time, looking for that perfect still... That final frame and make it last forever... "
If we could freeze the moment
(perfect, perfect) A perfect still
And if we could seize the moment
(perfect, perfect) A perfect still
And if we could freeze the moment
Freeze it (perfect, perfect) A perfect still
And if we could seize the moment
Seize it (perfect, perfect) The perfect still
Sight
A drowsing comfort
But a sight, what a sight
