This Moment

Melissa Etheridge · Lucky [2004]

I, I am watching you sleep

It's the promise you made

What I find I can keep

Oh I want to swallow the moon

Give a smile back to you

Lighting your way

Tell the angels they'll just have to wait



Cause I want to stay here in this moment

Can I quietly slip into you

You and I can stay here in this moment

Let the world fade away

I just want to stay with you



I, I am watching you breathe

I am pulled into you

As you smash into me

Oh I want to give you the stars

All that I can hold in my arms

Placing them where you lay

Tell the angels they'll just have to wait



Cause I want to stay here in this moment

Can I quietly slip into you

You and I can stay here in this moment

Let the world fade away

I just want to stay with you



With my hand on your skin

We can slowly begin

I am free

Now the heavens have less

Cause I found the best

And I won't let them take you away

Tell the angels they'll just have to wait



I want to stay here in this moment

Make the earth stand impossibly still

Disappear in your kiss

We'll never be missed

Let the world fade away

I just want to stay

With you,

with you
