Take me back, oh take me, please. Let me hold what’s gone away. Time, stand still just one more day. Life is short, too short to pay With blood that’s spilled upon the breeze. Time, stand still just one more day. Take me back, oh take me, please. Just one more day... time, stand still. Hold me close, oh hold me tight. Do not leave me at your will. Just one more day... time, stand still. Keep me under wing and know My heart aches deeply every night. Just one more day... time, stand still. Hold me close, oh hold me tight. Now’s the time to stand up tall, Seize the moment; Don’t forget Those who died, yes, one and all. Now’s the time to stand up tall. Honor those who took the fall With memories and past regret. Now’s the time to stand up tall, Seize the moment; Don’t forget. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
