Let's Stay Here
Eternal Moments: Oleta Adams' Serenade to Timeless Love
Lyrics
Let's just freeze the frame, savour the moment
Expressing a desire to capture and preserve the current moment
Never let it fade away
Commitment to prevent the fading away of the special moment
Let's just pretend there's just you and me forever
Imagining a timeless, enduring connection between just the two individuals
If only for this one day
Wishing for this unique connection to last, even if only for a day
Sipping Mojitos and listening to Miles, playing our favorite games
Describing shared activities, like enjoying drinks and music
And later we'll count all the stars in the sky;
Planning to appreciate the night sky together, with a desire to rename a particular star
There's one I want to re-name
Expressing a specific interest in a particular star
I want to feel every beat of heart
Yearning to experience the intensity of emotions in the relationship
Losing myself in your arms
Getting lost in the embrace of the partner
I'll hold on to every kiss that you give
Valuing and cherishing each kiss received
And wear them like they're charms
Considering kisses as precious and wearing them as charms
There's nothing important or pressing to see
Emphasizing the exclusivity of the moment with the partner
Outside of where you want to be
Stating that nothing else matters outside the present moment with the partner
Settle back, relax my de----are
Encouraging relaxation and settling into the moment
Let's just stay here
Reiterating the desire to stay in the current state
Let's just see if we have a flying dream
Proposing to explore imaginative and dreamlike scenarios together
In the middle of the afternoon
Specifically, dreaming of flying together in the afternoon
You can hop aboard my shuttle, so I can take you to the moon
Inviting the partner to join in a fantastical journey to the moon
And we'll keep soaring around and round
Envisioning continuous exploration and adventure
To see how far we'll go
Expressing curiosity about the extent of their shared journey
And it's time to be homeward bound, we'll come down really slow
Anticipating a gentle return from the imaginative journey
You can tell me your favorite bedtime story
Encouraging open communication through sharing bedtime stories
And never even say a word
Suggesting a deep connection where words may not be necessary
You can write a brand new song of love to a tune I've never heard
Inviting the creation of new expressions of love
The fact of the matter just happens to be
Affirming the partner's unique significance in the speaker's life
You're the only one that matters to me
Declaring the exclusive importance of the partner
Sit back, get closer de---are
Encouraging intimacy and closeness
Let's just stay here
Repeating the desire to stay in the current moment
Add...lib
Adding a vocal improvisation to enhance emotional expression
Repeat last verse
Repeating the last verse, emphasizing the desire to stay in the moment
