Lyrics
It was time to go
The party was getting dull
I found the setting dull
So, I got my hat and I went to the door
When just like that
A dream came through the door
And as I stared
I cared and cared and cared
Refrain:
That moment of moments
That flash from the blue
My moment of moments, finding you
I stood there in wonder
With never a word
And that wasn’t thunder
That was my heart you heard
Never was there any moment quite so momentous
For, in that moment heaven was sent us
Our moment of moments
Two fond hearts in rhyme
Here’s hoping that moment lives
Until the end of time
