Felt like I'd known you for all of my life Long before you both arrived Those black and white Polaroids signalled the shift Before we looked into your eyes The freedom to choose I was happy to lose When freedom's a prison with walls You lifted the sentence that blighted my life And captured me once and for all The present seems endless as seconds slide by And birthdays roll endlessly on Familiar rituals year after year Who could imagine them gone Two brilliant stars shining under the tree Two treasures we tucked up in bed No home movie moments recapture the time Or words that can not be unsaid Only the now, there's only the now The moments roll on into days There's only the now, only the now Don't ever wish it away Blink for a minute, an era has gone All futures plunge into the past That room full of echoes stands silent at night Its emptiness suddenly vast I love you forever, and long may you know The comfort and joy that we've shared And long may your laughter ring on in this world Long after we're no longer there Only the now, there's only the now The moments roll on into days There's only the now, only the now Don't ever wish it away
