Until



Until the light of day stops dawning
Until the hour of night is at hand,
Until the birds in the sky stop flying
Until there's silence all over the land.
Until the clouds in the heavens have fallen
Until the sun has extinguished it's flame,
Until the seas have dried up and vanished
Until all the hours of the day do the same.
Until the mountains have lost their majestic heights
Until the rivers have all stopped their flow,
Until the times when the earth is all finished
Until the days when the moon doesn't glow.
Until the cease of the earth's rotation
Until the end of life's family tree,
Until my life is done and my spirit's gone home
You will be the whole world to me.
Until the breeze no longer sustains us
Until the morning has stopped making dew,
At the hour when eternity ceases
That will be the time that I stop loving you.
