I wanted to tell you before you were gone
The way that I felt about you back when I was young
You had that certain look in your eyes
I practiced our conversation so many times
It comes over me but it's alright
When the moment passes by
You've got your Monday paper, cup filled to the tip
That cigarette smoking in between your lips
This pace keeps moving just a little to fast
Each morning runs in silence like a film from the past
It comes over me but it's alright
When the moment passes by
I wanted to hear you say something at all
But now the minute has passed us and it's time to move on
It comes over me but it's alright
When the moment passes by
