Half a Moment

HAROLD

Time, they say, is relative

Infinite as space

This must be eternity

Neither time nor place...

Half a moment

We are together

I shall want

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 will capture it anew

Like some picture

Taken in my childhood

Half a moment

Spent with you

STIFFY

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...

Ev'ry moment

We spend together

I don't care

What they say or try to do

Can't erase it

All that's gone between us

Shared with you

BOTH

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

We're together

What else can matter?

Even though half a moment

Is too few

I shall save it

Till I have another

Making one whole moment

Filled with you
