The Moment of a Lifetime

It was a hot summer wedding when you saw me across the room
You were the cousin of the bride; my family was friends with the groom
I looked up from my drink; I was tired from the heat of the day
But the sight of you in that dress took my breath away
You had your knowing smile
And your eyes were locked on me
And my heart was remembering this
Saying it could be
Oh, the moment of a lifetime now
And I couldn’t tell you but I knew somehow
Yeah there’s something about the way your blue eyes shined
It made the world transform in mine
In a moment of a lifetime now
We made some brief conversation and your wit was quicker than mine
Yeah, I’ve never been good at flirting but you made it easy that night
The sun was setting behind as I made my way closer to you
And with that look in you eye, I knew I’d never forget this view
The sky is set aflame
A breeze is blowing through your hair
And when we’re leaning in
I can feel it in the air
It’s the moment of a lifetime now
And I couldn’t tell you but I knew somehow
Yeah there’s something about the sunlight on your skin
It told me something was going to begin
In a moment of a lifetime now
And I know myself; I always fall to fast
Yeah the ghosts of early heartbreak haunt my past
But sometimes you just know it in your heart
So why the hell would you wait to let it start?
Your hand is holding mine
Fifty years from that first night
And when I see you smile
Oh, I know that I got it right
I got it right
It was the moment of a lifetime then
And I could’ve said I knew it way back when
There was something the way you looked at me
It was everything I’d ever need
In a moment of a lifetime then

I wake in the night to the sound of the city, asleep
I walk to the window; see the streetlights dotting the trees
And in that moment I want you by my side
And it comes over me like a wave and I’m caught in the tide
But it’s something I’ve always known
I pull out the photo we took at your cousin’s birthday
You’re sticking your tongue out at me while I’m kissing your face
And it suddenly scares me ’cause I’ve never felt this before
But it’s clear in my heart it’s a feeling that I can’t ignore
‘Cause it’s something I’ve always known
Yeah, oh, it’s something I’ve always known
It’s an end and it’s a start
It’s down to earth and worlds apart
The first love I would ever choose
The last one I would want to lose
It beats in my heart; it flows right through my veins
A beautiful mystery that I could never explain:
How a soul like yours could make me feel so alive
And you do it all in a way that I can’t describe
But it’s something I’ve always known
Yeah, oh, it’s something I’ve always known
Yeah, oh, it’s something I’ve always known
Yeah, oh, it’s something I’ve always known

Well I’m the one who gets into his own head
When it seems like the world’s going right
And I will think on words left unsaid
When I’m left with my thoughts in the night
But you keep me in your arms, embracing
The fear that I’ve held in my heart
And, oh, your love it keeps erasing
The doubt that would keep us apart
‘Cause when you married me that Friday
At the church at the top of the hill
I vowed that I would love you always
Through the ups and the downs and the spills
So when our road seems to fade
Or we lose our way or we come to a standstill
Oh, I’ll take myself back to
The church at the top of the hill
Well I may wake up next to you, oh, one day
And the butterflies may be gone
They say the honeymoon is short-lived
And a lifetime together is long
But I will try to love you better
Every day than I did in the past
And I know I won’t get it perfect
But that’s the kind of love that will last
‘Cause when you married me that Friday
At the church at the top of the hill
I vowed that I would love you always
Through the ups and the downs and the spills
So when our road seems to fade
Or we lose our way or we come to a standstill
Oh, I’ll take myself back to
The church at the top of the hill
So I won’t say it will be painless
‘Cause we know that ain’t true
I won’t say my love’s been blameless
But it’s saved in my heart for you
And we’re a work in progress
But I will try to paint a life for you
I do it all for you
Because you married me that Friday
At the church at the top of the hill
I don’t know why you chose to love me
But I know that you always will
So when our road seems to fade
Or we lose our way or we come to a standstill
Oh, I’ll take myself back to
The church at the top of the hill
Oh, the church at the top of the hill
