Dan Fogelberg - Stolen Moments lyrics

Every time we speak Our words betray intentions Insincere inventions That never quite reach the heart So we turn the other cheek And gather our defenses Again, rebuild the fences That just been keeping us apart. Waiting out the worst We keep the best inside us In hopes our hearts can't hide us In hopes our tears don't show And you know we're not the first To try and breach the distance And though we meet resistance The love between us grows. And in the time it takes us To look beyond the lies We could be sailing through Each other's eyes And in those stolen moments When love is caught off guard We see it never had to be This hard. Every time we speak Our words betray intentions Insincere inventions That never quite reach the heart So we turn the other cheek And gather our defenses Again, rebuild the fences That just been keeping us apart. And in the time it takes us To look beyond the lies We could be sailing through Each other's eyes And in those stolen moments When love is caught off guard We see it never had to be This hard.
