IT'S THE news that Ed Sheeran fans around the world have been waiting for.

The superstar singer, 29, has revealed he is releasing new music, which all starts with a song called Afterglow.

What are the lyrics to Ed Sheeran's new song Afterglow?

[Intro]
One, two

[Verse 1]
Stop the clocks, it's amazing
You should see the way the light dances off your head
A million colors of hazel, golden and red
Saturday morning is fading
The sun’s reflected by the coffee in your hand
My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again

[Pre-Chorus]
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Oh, I won’t be silent and I won’t let go
I will hold on tighter ‘til the afterglow
And we’ll burn so bright ‘til the darkness softly clears

[Chorus]
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow

[Verse 2]
The weather outside’s changing
The leaves are buried under six inches of white
The radio is playing "Iron & Wine"
This is a new dimension
This is a level where we’re losing track of time
I’m holding nothing against it, except you and I

[Pre-Chorus]
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Oh, I won’t be silent and I won’t let go
I will hold on tighter ‘til the afterglow
And we’ll burn so bright ‘til the darkness softly clears

[Chorus]
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
