For a Minute There

Garth Brooks · The Lost Sessions [2005]

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 clug 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 ground

And though I chased and called

You never turned around

Oh the walk, the hair, the perfume

Were 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
