Alison Krauss - Moments Like This Lyrics

While the dying world redefines
The reasons we strive to exist
We feign control though we're bound to learn
The meaning of moments like this

'Cause in the peaceful hour, the quiet spell
Seduced by the promise of bliss
We soon forget that nothing's happened yet
We're living for moments like this

So hold me, whisper gently
This is what we live for, how we learn who we are
It defines us, ever reminding us
That life never is more precious than this

From the dim light in the greyness
The aim of the soul tends to miss
When the clouds catch fire and the ocean's pitch
We're made for the moments like this

So hold me, whisper gently
That there's nothing to fear
You'll always be near, to remind me, stand behind me
Although life can be rough we can never give up

It's in our power to face the storm with all its fury and madness
The flash of thunder roll behind us with a longing and sadness
The clouds will break

Hold me, whisper gently
This is what we live for, how we learn how we are
It defines us, ever reminding us
That life never is more precious than this

So hold me, whisper gently
That there's nothing to fear
You'll always be near, to remind me, stand behind me
Although life can be rough we can never give up
