For a Minute There

We were walking 'long the ocean Together hand in hand When I stopped to write "I love you" in the sand And when I looked up you were standing Ten miles out at sea And in a sweat I woke up from that crazy dream As I reached to hold you in the morning light It was just your pillow I clung to so tight (chorus) For a minute there I thought it was you For a minute there My prayers had finally come true For a minute there I began again to live What I wouldn't give For just a minute there Five o'clock on Friday Sitting at a light When this angel walked right by me On my right And the cars all started honking As my feet hit the ground And though I chased and called You never turned around Oh the walk, the hair, the perfume Where the same How I wished she would have answered To your name (Repeat Chorus) Tonight the stars in heaven Are bright as they can be And I swear one of them Is winking down at me (Repeat Chorus) What I wouldn't give How I'd love to live For just a minute there
