Moments Like This
Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Other Songs - Alison Krauss (And Union Station)
Refrain control or we're bound to learn the meaning of moments like this
Cuz in the peaceful lull, the quiet spell
Seduced by the promise of bliss,
we soon forget that nothing's happened yet
We're living for moments like this
So hold me, whisper gently this is what we live for, how we learn who we are
It defines us, ever reminding us that life never is more precious than this
From the dim light in the greyness, the aim of the soul tends to miss
but then the clouds catch fire and the oceans pitch
we're made for the moments like this
So hold me, whisper gently that there's nothing to fear
You'll always be near, to remind me, to stand behind me
Although life can be rough we can never give up
It's in our power to face the storm with all its fury and madness
The flash of thunder will be harnessed with the longing and sadness
The clouds will grey.
Hold me. Whisper gently this is what we live for, how we learn how we are
It defines us, ever reminding us that life never is more precious than this
Hold me. Whisper gently that there's nothing to fear,
You'll alway's be near, to remind me, stand behind me
Although life can be rough we can never give up.
