In fading starlight, creeping gloom,
At the edge of night,
I dream inside this half-lit room,
It's gonna be alright,
And I will say, that I will stay with you
And be forever by your side,
No matter what before might lie
Or what we leave behind.

And now the sun shines through the trees,
In the morning light,
It seems so easy to believe.
It's gonna be alright.
And I will say, that I will stay with you
And be forever by your side,
No matter what before might lie,
Or what we leave behind.

But if you're thinking that you don't feel that way,
I'll leave you alone now, I'll go away.
I promise, I'll go now, no matter what I said,
But I'll be waiting, right here for you
Until I lay my body down
And it will be forever nighttime,
If that's the way it is, the way it has to be.

And now the stars come back to life,
At the edge of night.
Another day has slipped away,
It's gonna be alright,
And I will say, that I will stay with you
And be forever by your side
No matter what before might lie,
But if you turn me down,
Then I'll be waiting, right here for you,
Until I lay my body down,
And it will be forever nighttime,
If that's the way it is, the way it has to be.
