Just One More Moment
I always thought that there would be time
Since that moment I met you
From the moment I first looked into your eyes
I lacked the courage to make myself known
So many things I wanted to do
A thousand things I wanted to say
There was always before me
My fear blocked the way
Would I say the wrong thing?
If I showed you how I felt
Would it be too much?
Sending you scurrying into hiding
My arms are empty without you
My soul lacks substance if you are not here
My kisses wither and die if you do not share them with me
So many times I wanted to tell you
Now you are gone
You left for another life
Another reality
And my moment of hope
Becomes nothing more than a memory
And the memory becomes nothing
Oh, for just one more moment
To say what I wanted to say
To do what I wanted to do
To go beyond my fear
And maybe have a life with you
