The whitest glow left blind, Feeling safe though in its hold Your touch sends shivers to my soul, Baptism of a different order When I see her beauty I do feel, And it's the first time And without knowing I know, This world will never be the same I see pictures in albums I've not lived Yet I know that I took everyone Her skin feels like I touch my own, And it feels like forever Oh in her eyes I feel, Beauty never known or imagined I've shown everything I am In just this single moment To the glory to the pain, And for a love I try to explain For the moments ever rare, Gone in a flash let them live here Hold this day let it live, You may write about it one day As the years stack up beside the fear, Holding signs that say "I wish I'd, if I'd" Brought my hand to her cheek one more time Or listened closer to I love you And maybe not let what I don't understand Keep me guarded or running scared To the glory to the pain, And for a love I try to explain For the moments ever rare, Gone in a flash let them live here The silence breaking still, Either with or without warning I ride the river I mind the tide, Mostly now in silence though I Walked with you in dream again last night I woke, and you were still there I need you to stay in these pages for a while, I need to be on my way... To the glory to the pain And for a love I try to explain For the moments ever rare, Gone in a flash let them live here To the glory to the pain And for a love I try to explain For the moments ever rare, Gone in a flash let them live here
