Lyrics
LIVE IN THE MOMENT
(Raebeck Hall/Straus)
VERSE 1:
Make my hours timeless
Let me never, never, never forget
That the past is far behind me now
And the dawning of tomorrow
Has not come yet
May I smile with the knowledge
That today is heavenly
Let me love where I am
'Cause it's where I want to be
*CHORUS:
May I live in the moment
May I breathe in the day
Let my heart fill up with joy and love
Greet the dawn's early morning ray
For each minute I am thankful
All my troubles fade away
May I live in the moment
I will celebrate this day
VERSE 2:
Let me not take for granted
Let me never, never, never forget
All the gifts that I've been given
In this world, I'm nothing but a guest
Let me heary be ever greatful
For the things that I hold dear
Love surrounds me in each minute
With a message pure and clear
BRIDGE
Yesterday is in the wind
Tomorrow hangs in the air
All we have is here and now
So treat it with care
