Johnny Mathis - Moments Like This lyrics

While the dying world redefines The reasons we strive to exist We feign control though were 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 greyness The aim of the soul tends to miss When the clouds catch fire and the ocean's 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, 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 So 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
