The Moment
Take me to the moment when our eyes first met
Across the room, at a party
You didn't have to say a word
I knew what you were thinking, without meeting you before
Take me to the moment when we had our first kiss
Atop the skyscraper, the twinkling lights all around us
The city noise far below
They could not touch us in that moment, we were all alone
Take me to the moment when I fell in love
Looking out over the ridge, the city in the distance
All the wildlife had gone to sleep; save for the crickets
Who had stayed awake if only to sing a love song just for us
Take me to the moment just a while ago
When I looked into your eyes and saw my future in an instant
It will be us against the world
And every new moment will be the best I ever had
.....
Help me forget the moment when I dropped the phone
Couldn't move, couldn't speak
Forgive me if I cried
My happiness was taken away in the blink of an eye
I wish I'd never experienced the moment when the truth was screaming at me
I refused to believe, I couldn't admit that it was true
You were all I ever needed, the rock that I could lean on
Your light had flickered out and the darkness was overwhelming
I wasn't there for the moment when the preacher said his funeral prayer
All your loved ones had gathered to see you off in despair
But I, I could not show, I could not bear the loss
The cross that I now wear
Take me to the moment when we meet again
The only thing to get me there is memories
The ones of your smile and the way that you laugh
I can't wait to be with you once again
