Going, Going, Gone

As night arrives All the glittering light's like a memory That's not meant for me They feel alive All the stars as they arc through the atmosphere And then disappear With everyone right by my side, every wall is broken down And I might be alright in the sea of light and sound Here, maybe one day I will find An escape from the weight on my mind Let me stay awhile, stop the world from moving on And l'll gaze into the sunset 'til it's going, going, gone Lend me the stage and I know there'd be a role for me to play You'd take a photograph, and I'd take your breath away The city aches With the weight of a million fantasies That will never be But I'm wide awake It's a rush just to be at the heart of it To feel like part of it With everyone right by my side, I forget the fear and doubt And I might be alright, even though time's running out Here, maybe one day I will find An escape from the fate I'm assigned Let me stay awhile, stop the world from moving on And I'll dance beneath the stars before they're going, going, gone Lend me the stage and I know there'd be a role for me to play You'd take a photograph, and I'd take your breath away Let me stay awhile, stop the world from moving on And I'll cherish all the memories 'til they're going, going, gone Here in the light, I can feel something within me start to glow Like it's a star to wish upon I know I'll dream about this moment 'til I'm going, going-
