The sun has set in the west
Like a bird into its nest
The day has come to an end
As we sit here holding hands
And think of how long this will take
Before we let go of what we had
Of all the memries we've made.

I long for it to last a little longer
A little longer so I can hold you
To hug and kiss you a little longer
To see your eyes light up with fire
When I say you're so charming
As you smile into the open space.

Let me walk with you tonight
One more time to end this night
For the stars have given their light
But I'll wait for it's your right
To say yes or no, or say nothing at all.

I'll stay in silence a little longer
A little longer I'll wait for you
Beneath the palm trees I'll sit a little longer
Until the waking of another day
When I shall rise to fly away.
