The Heartbreak Moment

I used to think that being alone would somehow simplify my life

But I really know myself and I know I'm going miss tonight

Talking on the telephone or having all the postage paid

Will never make me feel as good as walking on those river banks

Laughing like two little kids sitting in the back of class

The only thing that's on my mind is how to make this moment last

So I pulled my camera out and aimed it at your smiling face

All the while we hear the sound of our time ticking away

I used to think that being in love would somehow complicate my life

But I really know my heart and I can hear yours beat with mine

Pounding on piano keys and strumming those old copper strings

Will always make me feel like your standing right there next to me

Singing like two little kids waiting for the rain to pass

The only thing that's on my mind is how to make this moment last

So I pulled my feelings out and left them in your travel case

All the while we hear the sound of our time ticking away

If I was a rich man I would bring my friends along

We'd move up to the mountains and record a hundred songs

But since my wallet's empty and I have these lines to sing

Just know that I will see you all when I close my eyes and dream

I will see you Joseph with that child light in your eyes

Standing in the moonlight staring up at all the stars

We'll be with Piana as she plays those organ keys

And we'll all become kids again and laugh out loud until our hearts are free

Just her and him

Her and him and me
