In fading starlight, creeping gloom,
At the edge of night,
I dream inside this half-lit room
It's gonna be alright
And I will say that I will stay with you
And be forever by your side,
No matter what before might lie
Or what we leave behind

And now the sun shines through the trees
In the morning light,
It seems so easy to believe
It's gonna be alright
And I will say that I will stay with you
And be forever by your side,
No matter what before might lie,
Or what we leave behind

But if you're thinking that you don't feel that way,
I'll leave you alone now, I'll go away
I promise, I'll go now, no matter what I said
But I'll be waiting right here for you,
Until I lay my body down
And it will be forever nighttime,
If that's the way it is, the way it has to be

And now the stars come back to life,
At the edge of night
Another day has slipped away
It's gonna be alright
And I will say that I will stay with you
And be forever by your side
No matter what before might lie
But if you turn me down,
Then I'll be waiting, right here for you,
Until I lay my body down
And it will be forever nighttime,
If that's the way it is, the way it has to be
