Went undercover for time to unveil,
And then this summer I beheld a spark in your eyes.
We all were gliding like the light that shone from the skies.
I waited all year, not sure what to hope,
But now I’ve made it here through the old Portrait Hole.
I take it in: the Quidditch win, you’re crossing the room —
And then at last the fire laughed, and none too soon I’m holding you.
I’ll be out of free time,
We’ll all be facing the nightfall pretty soon.
So let’s chase an afternoon
While the hour’s opportune.
Leave the future for now,
Lean down and skim your toes across the lake.
And I’ll stay to dream with you until the shadows wake.
La la la la la, la
La la la la la, la
We let the Black Lake drown feet with its splash,
And both got stomachaches from having to laugh —
The Giant Squid, it never did release its grip on your shoes,
Though I recall they were too small for such a creature to use!
I’ll be out of free time,
We’ll all be facing the nightfall pretty soon.
So let’s chase an afternoon
While the hour’s opportune.
Leave the future for now,
Lean down and skim your toes across the lake.
And I’ll stay to dream with you until the shadows wake.
I’ll be out of free time,
We’ll all be fighting the darkness pretty soon.
So let’s chase an afternoon
While the hour’s opportune.
Leave the future for now,
Look up and feel the sunlight kiss your face.
And I’ll stay to dream with you until the shadows wake.
