last this day

Dido

Lines to the skin
That have seen
Neither sun nor sin

Tubes to the mouth
Cannot laugh or sigh
Or even cry

A drop in the ocean
A second and all time
One stop in the endless sky

But you mean
The whole world to me
You're an island of light

So please last this day
Stay one more day
Please last this day
Stay one more day

Stay one more
Stay one more
Stay one more day

Just one more
Just one more
Just one more day

All this madness around us
You are knowing
And so still

You were made in love
Grew in hope
Were born in pain

You have them running round
Trying to make you breathe again

One tiny link
In an endless chain

But you mean
The whole world to me
You're an island of light

So please last this day
Stay one more day
Please last this day
Stay one more day
Please last this day
Stay one more day
Please last this day
Stay one more day
