Time goes so fast today. don't blink she'll go away. don't
Close your eyes. not for one moment. you feel so good right
Now. you have to stay somehow. don't let it slip. let time
Stay frozen
She needs you. you need her. just like the sun. don't think
That it's over. it's just begun
Oh mister moon and mister sun. our song has only just
Begun. oh mister sun and mister moon. don't let these
Minutes go too soon
If wishes were for free. my only hope would be. to stop the
Clock. let's keep this moment. I guess that's just a dream
As hollow as your own moon beam. so let us revel in our
Time
She needs you. you need her. just like the sun. it never is
Over. once it's begun
Oh mister moon and mister sun. our life has only just
Begun. oh mister sun and mister moon. don't let this
Moment go too soon
Oh mister moon and mister sun. our life has only just
Begun. oh mister sun and mister moon. don't let this
Moment go too soon. oh mister moon and mister sun. our
Song has only just begun. oh mister sun and mister moon
Don't let these minutes go too soon

The Human League are a synth pop band from Sheffield, England, formed in 1977. They generated a string of synthesizer-backed dance pop hits throughout the 80s. David Bowie dubbed the group “the sound of the future” in 1981.

The band is best known for its third studio album released in 1981, Dare! The fourth single from Dare, “Don’t You Want Me,” catapulted to #1 in the UK and US.

Phil Oakey is the only core member of the group. The band’s first incarnation was as an arty all-male synthesizer group, composed of Oakey, Martyn Ware, and Ian Craig Marsh. In the 1980s, Ware and Marsh left the group after continued conflicts with Oakey—they went on to form Heaven 17.
