A Moment In Time

She walks out the door
With some change in her hand
Buys the headlines and comics
From the newspaper stand

My mind dictates novels
But my throat cracks and chokes
We both laugh together
But to her it's a joke

My eyes ask for a token
But there's not one to spare
And she breaks all eye contact
With a wave of her hair

In one slight graceful moment
Her prescence is lost
And one only wonders
How much his love will cost

Chorus:

Then she turns
With a smile on her face
My feet will not move
But my heart's in a race
And she gives me that look
Yet I know it's not mine
It's all just an act
Just a moment in time

Later at home
A thought came to me
That if I was the one
Oh how wondrous it would be

I fell fast asleep
With no thought of my own
For o'er my dreams she's ruled
On her enchanted throne

Chorus:

My eyes catch a glimpse
Of that beautiful delight
And as our eyes make connection
We take off in the night

I wrap my arms around her
And with her heart so close to mine
I tell her I will love her
Until the end of all time

Then she turns
With a smile on her face
My feet will not move
But my heart's in a race
And she gives me that look
The same as before
But this one's no act
No, not anymore

For a moment
A moment in time
