For a brief shining moment a bolt of lightning struck
For a brief shining moment our bodies shook with thunder
For a brief shining moment we could not believe our luck
Rain poured down around us without touching
For a brief shining moment our lips they finally met
Tasted the sweet nectar of our longing
For a brief shining moment we wanted what we had
Sunrise warmed our skin to greet the morning
Chorus
For a brief shining moment we held each other close
For a brief shining moment we were warm down to our bones
For a brief shining moment we lacked nothing but more time
The time we lacked was never coming for us
For a brief shining moment the stars filled up the skies
Wind it leant the scent of sweet magnolia
For a brief shining moment there was nothing but your eyes
Candlelight was dancing up and over us
For a brief shining moment I held you in my arms
Listened close to every sound you made
For a brief shining moment I succumbed to every charm
Dreamt that you might come back home some day

Chorus
For a brief shining moment we held each other close
For a brief shining moment we were warm down to our bones
For a brief shining moment we lacked nothing but more time
The time we lacked was never coming for us
The time we lacked was never coming for us
