Half a Moment - Jose Carreras

«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.
