WHILE THE LIGHT LASTS

Girl, when I first saw you
Sparks flew, igniting the night
Our love burned so bright, yeah
Everything felt so right

But time, it moves so fast
This feeling, will it last?
Gotta hold on tight
While our hearts still shine bright

Chorus:
While the light lasts
Let's dance in the glow
While the light lasts
Don't ever let go
This love's so electric
It's fragile, yet so strong
Cherish every moment
Before the light is gone

Baby, your touch is magic
Sets my soul on fire
But I fear this passion
Might one day retire

So let's make each day count
Our love will surmount
Every doubt, every fear
While our flame's burning clear

Chorus:
While the light lasts
Let's dance in the glow
While the light lasts
Don't ever let go
This love's so electric
It's fragile, yet so strong
Cherish every moment
Before the light is gone

Bridge:
Time is ticking, can you feel it?
Our hearts beating as one
This love's a thriller, let's live it
Before our chance is done

Hold me closer, feel the power
Our love shines like the sun
Every hour, every minute
Cherish this, we've just begun

Chorus:
While the light lasts
Let's dance in the glow
While the light lasts
Don't ever let go
This love's so electric
It's fragile, yet so strong
Cherish every moment
Before the light is gone

While the light lasts
Oh, while the light lasts
Let's make it last forever

I'm enjoying your love songs. You seemed to have cornered the market on them... During both good times and bad, there's always a Jerry Petit love song. 😊

@sycophant 5d

Great love song. I really like the fast pace of this. I find most love songs are a bit slow and sluggish, but this moves along at a great pace… awesome effort!

Beautiful song Jerry. Different style to what I heard from you with different instrumentation and melodies but instantly Jerry's. Love it. A fantastic Valentines song ❤️

@guatecoop 1w

Well this one is pretty different in style and I like it! The chorus is excellent and unexpected and that bass is really something! Wow! Very well done!

@gwynjones 1w

A bit different, a bit ultrapop, a bit of an earworm and a lot of romantic Valentine's vibes...perfect for the day!

Ah the old Jerry slipped in during the pinkinning! Still different musical! Great return vocal! Big left ear guitar!

The sparkly synth is a lovely touch. Oh and mandolin too I think. Great chorus - love those overlapping vocals. The waawaa guitar is cool also. Wonderful lyrics - the bridge is my favorite. Super catchy melody and the classic smooth, compelling Jerry vocals are the icing on this Valentine treat!

The Jerry Pettit valentines song… an annual tradition, strapping in… first thing I’m hit by is those panned guitars, they almost seem to be in conversation, very cool. Then I’m loving the overlapping call and response hook! Catchy as hell. Loads of nice ear candy, that ivy synth on the right is fun. And a lovely message - “while the light lasts / let’s make it last forever” is great :)

@mrsqueeze 1w

Very sweet and earnest! Love the doubling in the chorus, reminds me of a barbershop quartett :) also I like the plucky guitar!

it feels to me that you are like brian wilson in his experimental phase here. the melodies are more complicated than usual. and i surrendered to all those harmonies on the chorus. this is my favorite one of yours so far this year.
