Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]:
The seconds run away,
Minutes pass,
At speeds we can't run at.
As hours start to fade,
Deep into the night.
I'm not in the mood for laughing.
[Hook]:
It's slipping away,
There's nothing we can do.
It's slipping away,
There is no tomorrow without you.
[Chorus]:
I wish these 24 hours,
Would never end.
Oh, in these 24 hours,
Wish the clock had no hand.
In 24 hours,
We still have time.
For 24 hours,
You're still mine.
[Verse 2]:
If this isn't real,
Just can't deal.
In the way you can say,
I was always a cynic.
Hopeful for a while,
Lost in denial,
I wish this could last forever.
[Hook]:
It's slipping away,
There's nothing we can do.
It's slipping away,
There is no tomorrow without you.
[Chorus]:
I wish these 24 hours,
Would never end.
Oh, in these 24 hours,
Wish the clock had no hand.
In 24 hours,
We still have time.
For 24 hours,
You're still mine.
[Bridge]:
I wish these 24 hours,
Would never end.
I, I, I, I,
I won't tell on.
I won't tell on.
I won't tell on.
'Cause in 24 hours,
'Cause in 24 hours,
You'll be gone,
You'll be gone,
You'll be gone,
In 24 hours.
[Chorus]:
In 24 hours,
We still have time.
For 24 hours,
You're still mine.
[Outro]:
I wish these 24 hours,
Would never end.
Oh, in these 24 hours,
Wish the clock had no hand.
