The moment's gone

i once thought i could forget you, clear the cobwebs from the corners of my mind
but every now and then i see you and i realize i never left behind the thought of you

i never found the perfect words to tell you, it took years to see you're the only one for me

heard life's humor with the same ears, caught the cleverness with but one set of eyes
you smiled my smiles, i cried your tears, toured you through my world but rarely recognized my love for you

i never found the perfect words to tell you, it took years to see you're the only one for me
i waited for the perfect time to tell you, but it's been too long / and now the moment's gone

and how my life has changed in oh so many ways without you
do you feel the same, i fear that only in my dreams you do

i never found the perfect words to tell you, it took years to see you're the only one for me
i waited for the perfect time to tell you, but it's been too long / and now the moment's gone
