Lyrics Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis

Moments Like This

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
