I’ve been told it’s best if I forget you
That songbirds sing but very soon are gone
And all they leave behind them is a soft melody
Of a love song that won’t leave your heart alone
 

They tell me it was only for a moment
And moments are just moments, and then they end
But I believe that life is just a moment
The moment that I met you life began
 

So give me just a moment of your morning
Give me just a moment of your time
When the sun is high above us, stand beside me
When the night is falling softly say you’re mine
When the world has turned away, tell me you need me
When the tides are turning, hold me through the storm
Give me just a moment of your morning
Then tomorrow give me just a moment more
 

I’ve been told there’s no way I can hold you
For poets have to walk their roads alone
And all they leave behind them is a soft memory
For another someone who’s wondering where they’ve gone
 

They tell me it was nothing but a moment
And I was caught up in a whirling wind
Well I believe the wind is but a moment
That no one’s ever followed to the end
 

So give me just a moment of your morning
Let me show you how much I can care
So give me just a moment of your morning
And tell me it can last a thousand years
Let your rainbow find a new disciple
Let me be what you’ve been searching for
Give me just a moment of your morning
Then tomorrow give me just a moment more
