We were both of us, so beautiful together
For just that one glorious, fleeting moment
Two shining souls, looking for a mate
Two glorious lovers trying to hold back the morning
Pulled together by fate, torn apart by time
Now you must go your way, and I must go mine
We always knew the truth deep inside of us
We were never going to be allowed to keep this moment, were we?
For one fleeting moment, all our stars were in perfect alignment
A line of pure light leading straight to heaven’s gate
Our perfect moment ordained by the gods and fate
No past, no future, living only in that moment
Whispering to each other secrets no other mortals should ever hear
But our stars of perfect alignment, they have begun to move
Their line now broken, like some magician’s magic spell
We were never going to be allowed to keep this moment, were we?
So remember me, as I will always remember you
With eyes closed, your memory, the doorway to my mind
Your touch, your aroma, your essence forever mine
Now I commit you to the land of my dreams
And I will sleep with you now every night forever
Until the morning light tears us apart once more
A memory now, a disembodied romance, a lost chance
We were never going to be allowed to keep this moment, were we?

Note -Sometimes you just know when that perfect moment has been and gone and that you are never going to be allowed to keep it for a moment longer.
