Lyrics

In A Small Moment

In a small moment

She accepted credit for something she did not do

She said she'd done the water color in her bedroom

But it was done by a friend from school

Just a little lie

No one would discover

At least not very soon

In a small moment

Just a little lie

When she wasn't looking it just slipped on by

In a small moment

In a restaurant where she worked the late night shift

She short changed a sailor and made five

You could never really call it a theft

Just a little lie

Swept up in her apron and kept as a well deserved gift

In a small moment

Just a little lie

When she wasn't looking it just slipped on by

In a small moment

She cheated on her lover and placed it in the back of her mind

As long as nobody knew the truth about her

It could never really be unkind

Just a little lie

That slipped beside her as she tossed and turned in her alibis

In a small moment

Just a little lie

When she wasn't looking it just slipped on by

Just a little lie

When she wasn't looking it jsut slipped on by

Slipped on by
