For just one moment.

*Written December 18, 1998

For just one moment, you were mine
As we both heard our hearts' true rhyme
As couples danced, as music played
As in your arms I slowly swayed.

For just one moment, you knew me
Though strangers we will always be
The past may never come again
But memories come now and then.

For just one moment, we were close
We once shared something, and it shows,
I see the past each time you smile,
And love stays for a little while.

For just one moment, I love you,
And yet perhaps I'll always do.
Your gentle touch, the words you say
They bring me back to yesterday.

For just one moment, as we dance
Caught up in this nostalgic trance
The song becomes a melody
We'll both recall eternally.

For just one moment that won't last,
We're both transported to the past.
Few precious minutes, love once more
Has found its way through our hearts' doors.
