I stood by the river as the moonlight broke the sky
That night was eternal the world just passed me by
The wind whispered stories of love, loss, and thrill
And in that frozen moment time stood still
I remember the laughter her eyes like firelight
We danced with no future just shadows in the night
But dreams are illusions they bend and they kill
Yet I still chase that second when time stood still
Time stood still in the heart of the blues
Every second eternal a lifetime to lose
With each chord we freeze in this bittersweet thrill
Living forever when time stands still
I lost her at sunrise her touch slipped away
But the echoes of midnight still haunt me today
In this bar I find solace I drink to refill
That fleeting cursed second when time stood still
We lived in the shadow of moonlit delight
Our hearts beating slower as time took flight
Now all that remains is this endless night
We lived in the shadow of moonlit delight
Our hearts beating slower as time took flight
Now all that remains is this endless night
Time stood still and it always will
In the chords of the blues in the stories we spill
We sing through the sorrow we fight through the chill
Chasing forever
