This Is One of Those Moments

[Refrain]

There are moments you remember all your life

There are moments you wait for and dream of all your life

This is one of those moments

[Verse 1]

I will always remember this chair, that window

The way the light streams in

The clothes I'm wearing

The words I'm hearing

The face I'm seeing

The feeling I'm feeling

The smell, the sounds

Will be written on my mind

Will be written in my heart

As long as I live

[Verse 2]

I can travel the past and take what I need

To see me through the years

What my father learned and his father

Before him will be there for my eyes and ears

I can walk through the forests of the trees of knowledge

And listen to the lessons of the leaves

I can enter rooms where there are rooms within rooms

Wrapped in the shawl that learning weaves

I remember, Papa

Everything you've taught me

What you gave me, Papa

Look at what it's brought me

There are certain things that once you have

[Chorus]

No man can take away

No wave can wash away

No wind can blow away

And now they're about to be mine!

No tide can turn away

No fire can burn away

No time can wear away

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

I can open doors, take from the shelves

All the books I've longed to hold

I can ask all the questions

The why's and the where's

As the mysteries of life unfold

Like a link in a chain from the past to the future

That joins me with the children yet to be

I can now be a part of the ongoing stream

That has always been a part of me

There are certain things that once you have

[Chorus]

No man can take away

No wave can wash away

No wind can blow away

No tide can turn away

No fire can burn away

No time can wear away

And now they're about to be mine!

[Refrain]

There are moments you remember all your life

There are moments you wait for and dream of all your life

This is one of those moments
