Could you just hold me
Just a little but tighter- just a little bit longer,
Then I'll be fine.

Because I'm losing my balance,
I think that I might fall-
Won't you just hold me closer tonight?

Tell me you love me,
I don't care- you can lie-
We can fly, together- laugh
And leave this behind. . .
Just you and I. . .
Your hand in mine-

We'll watch in amazement at how fast the time flies.

Teetering on the ledge- about to fall off the edge,
Could you just love me?
It'd make everything right.

Like I said- won't you say it?
Tonight you can lie,
It's so much easier than saying goodbye. . .

Could you just dance with me,
Fall off the edge with me-
Just wait a moment, you'll see we can fly.

Sing a new song with me,
Just maybe laugh- you'll see
Watch in amazement at how fast the time flies by. . .

Could you just laugh just a little bit louder- longer,
Let me pretend that you're mine.

We could be happy,
Just say that you love me!
I can't forget you- believe me, I've tried.

I'll share my dreams with you-
Fully believe in you,
If you weren't a fairy-tale, nursery rhyme.

No- you're a fantasy,
But just play along with me-

I like to watch the time go by. . . with you-
I know that it's not true.
But without you- I'm so blue.

It's so much easier to lie-
Not another goodybe. . .

One more and I'll. . . cry.

So baby, just lie to me,
I'll try not to believe-
Try to remember that all isn't fine.

But couldn't we stay in the fairy-tale dreamland?
I like the thought of your hand in mine. . .

So baby, just lie to me,
Only the clocks agree-

They like it when you and I just waste our time-
So why don't you and I just waste this time?

We'll watch in amazement at how fast the time flies by. . .
