For a Minute There

[Verse 1]

We were walking along the ocean

Together hand in hand

When I stopped to write "I Love You" in the sand

And when I looked up you were standing

Ten miles out at sea

And in a sweat

I woke up from that crazy dream

As I reached to hold you in the morning light

It was your pillow

I clung to so tight

[Chorus]

But for a minute there

Well I thought it was you

For a minute there

My prayers had come true

And for a minute there

I began again to live

What I wouldn't give

For just a minute there

[Verse 2]

Five o'clock on Friday

Sitting at a light

When this angel walked right by me

On my right

And the cars all started honking

As my feet hit the ground

And though I chased and called

You never turned around

Oh the walk, the hair, the perfume

Were the same

How I wished she would've answered

To your name

[Chorus]

Cause for a minute there

Well I thought it was you

Yes for a minute there, I swear

My prayers had come true

Yes for a minute there

I began again to live

What I wouldn't give

For just a minute there

[Verse 3]

Tonight the stars in heaven

Are bright as they can be

And I swear one of them

Is winking down at me

[Chorus]

And for a minute there

Well I thought it was you

Yes for a minute there, I swear

My prayers had come true

Yes for a minute there

I began again to live

What I wouldn't give

For just a minute there

[Outro]

Oh what I wouldn't give

How I'd love to live

For just a minute there
