Alison Krauss - Moments Like This Lyrics

While the dying world re-defines
The reasons we strive to exist
We feign control though we're bound to learn
The meaning of moments like this
Cause in the peaceful hour, the quiet spell
Seduced by the promise of bliss
We soon forget that nothing's happened yet
We're living for moments like this

So hold me
Whisper gently this is what we live for
How we learn who we are
It defines us
Ever reminding us that life never is more precious than this

From the dim light in the grayness
The aim of the soul tends to miss
When the clouds catch fire and the oceans pitch
We're made for the moments like this

So hold me
Whisper gently that there's nothing to fear
You'll always be near
To remind me
To stand behind me
Although life can be rough
We can never give up

It's in our power
To face the storm with all its fury and madness
The flash of thunder roll behind us with a longing and sadness
The clouds will break

Hold me
Whisper gently this is what we live for
How we learn how we are
It defines us
Ever reminding us that life never is more precious than this
Hold me
Whisper gently that there's nothing to fear
You'll always be near
To remind me
Stand behind me
Although life can be rough
We can never give up
