If time would stop in golden form,
Then all the love this hour
Could be beheld for evermore,
In all its sacred power.
But nothing earthly will remain,
For this is our estate:
To love the moments as they come
And otherwise,
Just wait

A young couple in love holding hands at sunset at the seaside
If time would stop in golden form,
Then all the love this hour
Could be beheld for evermore,
In all its sacred power.
But nothing earthly will remain,
For this is our estate:
To love the moments as they come
And otherwise,
Just wait
