Until
Sting and Hugh Jackman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything was still beneath the moon
Without your love would it shine for me?
If I was smart as Aristotle
And understood the rings around the moon
What would it all matter if you loved me?
Here in your arms
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms
When everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing would I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancings´ end
If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Until the stars grew dim, Until?
One day you'll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
you'll feel that you´re close to some mystery
In the moonlight when everything shatters
You´ll feel as if you've known her all your life
The world?s oldest lesson in history
Here in your arms
Where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfill
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
Here in your arms
When everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing do I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancings end
Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon and we would ride
Until the stars grew dim
Until the time that time stands still, Until?
Sting and Hugh Jackman's song "Until" is a powerful ballad that drives deep into the theme of love and its essence. The lyrics are thought-provoking, and they explore the question of what the world would be like without love. The first stanza of the song speaks to the wonder and beauty of the world and how, without love, it would be meaningless. The imagery of catching the world in a bottle and saddling the moon to ride until the stars grew dim highlights the extent to which the world is rich with possibilities. Still, none of it matters without the presence of love.
The second stanza of the song speaks about a moment of magic when two individuals find each other and all the noise of the world is silenced. This moment feels familiar, like they have known each other for their entire life, and it is the oldest lesson in history. The chorus then celebrates this moment, where the world is impossibly still and free of fear. It is a moment of pure joy and a million dreams to fulfill until the dancing ends.
Overall, the song is about the power of love and its ability to transform the world into a beautiful and meaningful place. It speaks to the idea that the world is a wonderful place, but without love, it is incomplete. However, when two individuals find each other and experience the magic of love, the world becomes a place of endless possibilities.

If I caught the world in a bottle
If I had control over the world
And everything was still beneath the moon
And everything was peaceful and quiet
Without your love would it shine for me?
Would it matter to me if I didn't have your love?
If I was smart as Aristotle
If I was incredibly intelligent
And understood the rings around the moon
And knew everything about the celestial bodies
What would it all matter if you loved me?
None of it would matter if I had your love
Here in your arms
In your embrace
Where the world is impossibly still
Where everything is calm and peaceful
With a million dreams to fulfill
With endless possibilities
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
And a short amount of time until this moment is over
When everything seems to be clear
When everything makes sense
Not a solitary thing would I fear
I wouldn't be afraid of anything
Except when this moment comes near the dancings´ end
Except for the end of this moment
If I caught the world in an hourglass
If I had control over time
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Used the moon as transportation
Until the stars grew dim, Until?
Until the end of time
One day you'll meet a stranger
One day you'll meet someone new
And all the noise is silenced in the room
And everything else becomes quiet
you'll feel that you´re close to some mystery
You'll feel like you're on the brink of a mystery
In the moonlight when everything shatters
When everything falls apart
You'll feel as if you've known her all your life
You'll feel like you've known her forever
The world´s oldest lesson in history
The lesson that has been taught throughout history
Until the time that time stands still, Until?
Until the end of time

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still

Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear
Not a solitary thing would I fear
Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end
If I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon so we could ride
Until the stars grew dim, Until...
One day you’ll meet a stranger
And all the noise is silenced in the room
You’ll feel that you're close to some mystery
In the moonlight and everything shatters
You feel as if you’ve known her all your life

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still
With a million dreams to fulfil
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends

Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass
Saddled up the moon and we would ride
Until the stars grew dim
Until the time that time stands still, Until...

Aquí en tus brazos donde el mundo todavía es increíble
con un millón de sueños por cumplir
Y un montón de momentos antes que el baile culmine
Aquí en tus brazos donde todo parece ser tan claro
A ninguna soledad le temería
Excepto cuando este momento se acerque al final del baile
Si atraparía el mundo en un reloj de arena
ensillaríamos la luna y montaríamos en ella
hasta que las estrellas resplandezcan
hasta el momento en que el tiempo se detenga
hasta que ..

This is one of his best. I love Sting's willingness to write music out of 4/4 time and experiment with lots of different times, rhythms, sounds, and styles, some that work and some that don't for him. - thank you Sting!

Самое прекрасное исполнение. Прослушала разные варианты, но это - что-то! СУПЕР! И этот фильм обожаю, так хочется верить в доброе и сказки.

I actually cried a little when I couldn't find this song on iTunes. :'(

The movie and the song were both underrated. Last time, Meg Ryan was really great in a film. A perfect song.
