[Verse 1]
The world keeps turning
But I’m standing still
Trapped in the silence
Chasing this will
Holding on tighter 
Than I ever have
To every memory
To every photograph

[Pre-Chorus]
Your voice echoes 
In the back of my mind
Like a song I knew
But I just can’t find
And though the night 
Keeps pulling me in
I whisper your name 
Like a prayer in the wind

[Chorus]
Until then…
I’ll carry your light 
Through the darkest hours
Build every moment 
Like a field of flowers
I’ll dream with my eyes 
Wide open again
Hold on through the storm
Until then…
Until then…
Until then…

[Verse 2]
I see your face 
In the faces of strangers
The way you smiled
The way you'd calm the dangers
Still talk to you 
When no one’s around
Pretend you answer 
Without a sound

[Pre-Chorus]
The stars don’t shine 
Like they used to do
But I keep watching
Hoping one’s you
And if fate is kind 
Or cruel again
I’ll meet you then

[Chorus]
Until then…
I’ll carry your light 
Through the darkest hours
Build every moment 
Like a field of flowers
I’ll dream with my eyes 
Wide open again
Hold on through the storm
Until then…
Until then…

[Bridge]
Time may be a thief
But love never fades
It hides in the corners
In soft serenades
I breathe in the dusk
Exhale the pain
Waiting for sunshine 
After the pouring rain

[Chorus]
Until then…
I’ll be the echo
The rhythm
The rhyme
Carving your name 
Into every line
I’ll walk every road
Through loss until
It's time to say goodbye
Until then…
Until then…

[Outro]
Maybe in dreams
Or the next life we’ll meet
Somewhere beyond 
Where hearts skip a beat
I’ll keep the door open
And the light always on
My friend
Until then…
Until then…

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (Witmark Demo - 1963)
