We drank all the wine
And we burned all the candles to the ground
We danced to every dance they played 
'Til silence seemed to be the only sound
And I could've sworn not long ago
The sun was only starting to go down
But when did all the stars
Fade just like the moon?
And how'd it get so late so soon?

Twilight was just leaving
When the first kiss of the evening got us high
And time stood at a standstill 
When the whole world just stopped for you and I
And that last kiss you gave me, baby, just lit up the sky
When did that early bird
Start singing his first tune?
How'd it get so late so soon?

Oh, I could've sworn not long ago
The sun was only starting to go down
But when did all the stars
Fade just like the moon?
When did that early bird
Start singing his first tune?
And how'd it get so late so soon?
