Slow Down The Night
Mark Free Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felt the wind blow colder
Heard the laughter slowing
Seen the heartaches growing
Love slipped away, day after day
If I could turn back the pages
Somehow read the changes
Try to touch your heart
Just one more try
Don't let it come down to good bye
Slow down the night
Make this moment last a lifetime long
Slow down this heart
Racing through the past
Too restless to hold on
My world is in your arms
So Hold me tight and we can
Slow down the night
We Can slow down, slow down the night
I never saw the danger
Time that made us strangers
Let the shadows gather
With each dream we'd shatter
Love disappeared, year after year
If I could turn back the tide
And keep the fire alive
Forget what used to be
Before our love is only a memory
Just one more chance
To hold the future in our hands
Slow Down the night
Make this moment last a lifetime long
Slow down this heart
Racing through the past
Too restless to hold on
My world is in your arms
So Hold me tight and we can
Slow down the night
We can slow down, slow down the night
I Was the last to remember
You were the last to forget
Can't you feel my heart break
Feel my heart break
Across a mile of regrets
(Repeat Chorus)
In Mark Free's song Slow Down The Night, the lyrics tell the story of a relationship that has slipped away over time. The singer reflects on how he missed the signs that the love was fading until it was too late. He longs to turn back the clock and make things right, to slow down the night and hold onto the moment. He acknowledges that they have become strangers to each other, and the love that they once shared has turned into memories. Despite this, he is willing to give it one more try because he knows that their love is worth fighting for.
The lyrics are powerful and poignant, with a sense of longing and nostalgia that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of lost love. The use of imagery – the wind blowing colder, the shadows gathering, the heart racing through the past – creates a vivid picture of the emotions involved. The repetition of the chorus, with its call to slow down the night and make the moment last, reinforces the sense of urgency and the need to hold onto what is slipping away.
Overall, Slow Down The Night is a beautiful and emotional song that captures the universal experience of lost love. The lyrics are carefully crafted, drawing on imagery and repetition to create a powerful and memorable message.

Before our love gets lost in time and becomes only a distant memory
Just one more chance
I yearn for another opportunity to make things right between us
To hold the future in our hands
To have control over our future together and have it in our hands
I Was the last to remember
I was the one who held on to our love and memories the longest
You were the last to forget
You were the one who moved on and forgot about our love the fastest
Can't you feel my heart break
Can't you feel the pain that I am experiencing due to our separation
Across a mile of regrets
Even though we are far away from each other and our relationship is over, I still regret and miss the love we shared
