linger a while

May I please keep this moment held tight in the palm of my hand
For me to visit when I'm lonely without you and I need it again
I'll hold on so securely, I promise I won't let it escape on the wind
Like a kiss blown from your lips for me to catch in my fist with a grin

The warm sunlight filtering through your hair
Your sweet soft radiant smile
It could never get old, this moment is gold
Such a pretty picture, so please may I linger a while?

May I please keep this moment in a jar full of endless night skies
It could light up my bedroom like it was filled up with fireflies
I'd tie it up with a pretty ribbon and keep it for only my eyes
And it could be my nightlight from the blue hour until sunrise

The warm sunlight filtering through your hair
Your sweet soft radiant smile
It could never get old, this moment is gold
Such a pretty picture, so please may I linger a while?

Or maybe I'd hide this moment up on the top shelf
It would haunt me and taunt me, I wouldn't know what to do with myself
Content, satisfied, and relaxed, sure, it's so nice to feel
Yes, it's comfy and cozy, but repetition makes things seem less real

I don't think living that time and that place could get boring
I'd still like you here by my side Tuesday morning
I could spend quite a while intertwined with you holding
You close... skin to skin, heart to heart, soul to soul...

The warm sunlight filtering through your hair
Your sweet soft radiant smile
It could never get old, this moment is gold
Such a pretty picture, so please may I linger a while?

Yes, it's heaven, so please may I linger a while?
