Lyrics
DANCING IN THE MOMENT
You take my hand, and follow me
As they start to play our song
When you recognize the melody
You begin to hum along
We're dancing in the moment
You're holding on to me
Dancing in a moment
That will never be your memory
I see you smile, and hear you sing
As we waltz around this floor
And I whisper "you are beautiful"
Like a hundred times before...
Dancing in the moment
With you holding onto me
Dancing in a moment
That will never be your memory
Bridge
Tho' your everydays
Become forgotten days
There is one thing, crystal clear
Nothing will ever steal from us
right now...right here
Instrumental
I see you smile, and hear you sing
As we waltz around this floor
And I whisper "you are beautiful"
Like a hundred times before...
Dancing in the moment
With you holding onto me
Here in a moment
That will only be my memory...
Dancing in a moment
That will never be your memory...
