Lyrics

The Stop the clocks; it’s a maz ing.

The You should see the way the light danc es off your head.

A mil lion col ors of ha zel, gold en and red.

Sat ur day morn ing is fad ing.

The sun’s re flect ed by the cof fee in your hand.

My eyes are caught in your gaze all o ver a gain.

We were love drunk, wait ing on a mir a cle, tryin’ to find our selves in the (F#)win ter snow, so a lone in love like the world had dis ap peared.

Oh, I won’t be si lent and I won’t let go.

I will hold on tight er till the (F#)af ter glow.

And we’ll burn so bright till the dark ness soft ly clears.

Oh, I will (E)hold on to the af ter glow.

Oh, I will (E)hold on to the af ter glow.

Oh, I will (E)hold on to the af ter glow.
