Lyrics

Before the Moment's Gone

I don't know where, or how, or when
I don't even know where to begin
all that I know is in my heart
and you are the place where it all starts

I often make a mess of things
I get in the way more than I should
If somehow the stars align for me
Please let me know the words to say

I've got to tell you everything I feel
before the moment's gone
I've got to show you this is something real
before the moment's gone
time is short and if I don't move fast
I'll lose my chance at love that always lasts
The time has come to tell you how I feel

Back when I was but just a child
I dreamt of love so pure and wild
My broken heat gave up the fight
until there was you and I saw the light
with you I saw the light

I've got to tell you everything I feel
before the moment's gone
I've got to show you this is something real
before the moment's gone
time is short and if I don't move fast
I'll lose my chance at love that always lasts
The time has come to tell you how I feel

I can't explain this yearning in my heart
I don't know what I am to do
The strongest feeling that I've ever known
I don't know how to get to you
If you could give me a sign something
to show me that I'm not crazy
I just have to know if this is something real

It's been some time since I was born
and before too long I will have died
whatever time left on earth that's mine
I need it with you here by my side
