I found a Picture of us in Canada.
I hadn't realized how our faces have changed.
Only we could know what that day was like,
yet the picture hás passed
through so many hands.
I want to say that was the best day that
I can remember'
because we were
together in the way that a family should be.

Refrão:

I want to make it last.
I want to make it last all night

Now that the weather has leaked a little taste of spring,
I live in my head
and I try to pretend that I never woke from
last night's dream:
the mansion on the hill
where we could be little girls and swing
on the tire swing and sing.

Refrão:

I want to make it last.
I want to make it last all night

Don't you see what I mean? I need a retreat.
I'll vacation in my imagination.
There's nothing out here for me in
the middle of February.
There is only cold and grey,
and useless short days that are telling us to
sleep- to hibernate.
So I'll dream. I'll dream, until the first
blooming poppy.

Refrao:

I want to make it last.
I want to make it last all night.
I want to make it last.
I want to make it last all night.
