Moments Like This

Alison Krauss (And Union Station) · Other Songs - Alison Krauss (And Union Station)

What a dying world re-defines, the reasons we strive to exist

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.
