Wasn't There a Moment Songtext
von Michael Feinstein
Wasn't There a Moment Songtext
You know I really can′t recall the details
It's horrific how the memory fails
As it fades into a blow, I forget just how things were
My mind′s become a wanderer
But wasn't there a smile once so remarkable
That's it′s still on fire in my book of dreams
That pile of memories, all of you
But when I saw it then through
Why do I never find a clue
To why that kissing smile withdrew
Wasn′t there a moment where I knew?
Wasn't there a time when life was beautiful?
Like a pantomime
When actors move sublimely sure of what they do
And my regrets are through
But there′s one mystery I still pursue
When life was beautiful and blue
Wasn't there a moment?
I can′t recall the moment
But wasn't there a moment
When you loved me too?
It's horrific how the memory fails
As it fades into a blow, I forget just how things were
My mind′s become a wanderer
But wasn't there a smile once so remarkable
That's it′s still on fire in my book of dreams
That pile of memories, all of you
But when I saw it then through
Why do I never find a clue
To why that kissing smile withdrew
Wasn′t there a moment where I knew?
Wasn't there a time when life was beautiful?
Like a pantomime
When actors move sublimely sure of what they do
And my regrets are through
But there′s one mystery I still pursue
When life was beautiful and blue
Wasn't there a moment?
I can′t recall the moment
But wasn't there a moment
When you loved me too?
