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
