A Brief Monent in Time

Your voice is the sound

That pierce through silence

And the light of hope 

That cuts through darkness.

You are the answer I get

When I run out of options 

And the laughter I hear

When I prove my devotion.

Late at night when I get home 

I need to chill and let things go

It’s just so hard to disconnect

I find the world so damn complex.

And even though I try so hard 

To overcome the way I feel

How could I ever cheat my heart?

When it’s my brain that keeps you here?

I promised you when we first met

To protect you in every way

I promised not to let you fall  

I kept my word; I think you know.

Now I ask for your protection

Don’t ever mind the situation

And if the end sneaks up on me 

Say my name and take my hand

Pull me close and hold me tight

I need to be right where you are...

And when I finally see your face 

After waiting all these years 

I’ll be the first to recognize 

That the life we came to know 

Was nothing less and nothing more

Than a brief moment in time.
