Lyrics While You Are Mine - Kurt Elling

While You Are Mine

In Time we met — one winter night — and the moon shone with a mystic light.
It seemed the world was holding breath — on her way to death
So your adagio — played sweet and low — could grow into a symphony.
Every note played to me sounded clear and fine — in splendid time.
In Time you slept — and every breath — every stillness and each sigh was mine.
I heard the sound of our two hearts — dancing in the dark
Lighter than air — the perfect pair — but it was there I knew that
If the world must pass — so, too, love’s gentle flame.
So I’ll sing your name — in splendid time
While you are mine.
