Jose Carreras Half A Moment Lyrics

"This is half a moment to be true.
Just you're here as long as I'm with you."

Male Tenor:
Half a moment
We are together
I shall want no-one else
And nothing new.
Half a moment
I shall treasure,
Keep it locked away
For some future rainy day.
Should you leave me
With just this moment
In my mind
I shall capture it anew,
Like some picture
Taken in my childhood
Half a moment
Spent with you.
Countless vivid memories
Spin before my view, Like some toy kaleidoscope
Images of you.

Chorus:
Time looks kindly
On fleeting lovers
They can turn the briefest hour
Into a day
Turn a moment
To a lifetime
Making it to last
Blending future with the past.

Male Tenor & Chorus:
We're together,
What else can matter?
Even though
Half a moment is too few

Male Tenor:
I shall save it
'Til I have another
Making one whole moment
Filled with you.
