Until the lights go out and the music fades
and pleasure evades this pensive heart
I shall not sit idle in my musing
when there is something to be doing
Something that needs tended to
and some way to still spend time with you

Until all the words that could be said;
All thoughts in my head and on my lips
are spent for the purpose of telling all
and expressing that I hear the call
over the crowd and past the parade
leading me where the music skips

Until the ride ends, I'll seek your sigh
and the gentle touch of your wayward eyes
As the wind and the weird, zero-gravity pull
push me back in my seat as some kind of fool
I will watch for your smile and listen for your laugh
in the long-standing romance of the chances I have

Until the time on the clock works its way free
and our hearts have become all they can be
Here in this carnival of games and delights
among the fantastic and diverting sights
I will seek the quiet dance in your world alone
and the memories of you, I've treasured and known
