Get up in the early light, let's sneak downstairs
While both of our boys are still in bed.
The hours are ours again, like way back when
Oh and the world sits still awhile.
Put on the coffee, let's go back in time
Back when we first woke side by side.
You held me so close to you, yeah we both knew
Oh how the world sits still awhile.
When we start again
Go sweet, go slow.
When we start again, be kind.
Don't forget the heart what's keeping time.
Oh while the world sits still awhile.
Remember the days before the boys got big
Rocking them chest to chest to sleep
Cll of the city lights, those sleepless nights
Oh how the world sits still awhile.
Remember the farm, you wore that dress you made,
Cll of the back porch thunderstorms
Or the morning in July and the western sky
Oh and the world sits still a while
When we start again
Go sweet, go slow
When we start again be kind
Don't forget our hearts are keeping time
Oh while the world sits still awhile
There are some things that I don't want to lose
When all of the engines turn back on.
How all of the colors shine, in your eyes and mine
Oh while the world sits still awhile
Yeah time is a racehorse when you're looking back
I hear the boys now on the stairs
Cll of the love we made, the love we gave
Yeah it makes the world sit still awhile.
Let's let the world sit still awhile.
