A Moment To Hold

I remember when the world was wide The laughter in the air, the dreams we'd hide Running through the fields, we never thought That time would slip away and all be lost The days were endless, we were free Now they're just whispers in the breeze Time, it's a river we can't slow down A fleeting moment, always spinning round What we hold today will fade tomorrow So let's live it now, without sorrow The moments we spend, they're all we've got A precious gift that means a lot Time, oh time, don't let it slip away Live each second, make it stay We used to dream without a care The future was a promise, always there But now we find ourselves asking why The days move faster than the stars in the sky The hands of time won't turn around What's lost is gone, no way to be found Time, it's a river we can't slow down A fleeting moment, always spinning round What we hold today will fade tomorrow So let's live it now, without sorrow The moments we spend, they're all we've got A precious gift that means a lot Time, oh time, don't let it slip away Live each second, make it stay When we're gone, what will remain The love we gave, the joy, the pain Let's make our mark before it's gone Hold each moment like the rising dawn For time is more than just a race It's the beauty in every face Time, it's a river we can't slow down A fleeting moment, always spinning round What we hold today will fade tomorrow So let's live it now, without sorrow The moments we spend, they're all we've got A precious gift that means a lot Time, oh time, don't let it slip away Live each second, make it stay So take my hand and hold it tight We'll make the most of this fleeting night For time is the one thing we can't rewind The best gift we give is when we don't mind Spending it all on what we love For time is a treasure sent from above
