WHILE THE LIGHT LASTS
Words & Music By Jerry Pettit Facebook.com/JerryPettitMusic
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 © 2024, Jerry Pettit

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 ❤️
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!
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 :)
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.
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. 😊
