one moment more

i watched Jaimie Goodwin's solo to this song. it may not have touched many people. but i was moved by her piece. especially after knowing her back story. reading opinions and observations about her also made the experience even more surreal. the sense of loss and longing is quite acute. so poignant. *sigh* i'm a sucker for such things. yes, yes. i admit to it once again.

One Moment More

Hold me
Even though I know you're leaving
And show me all the reasons you would stay
It's just enough to feel your breath on mine
To warm my soul and ease my mind
You've got to hold me and show me now

Give me just one part of you to cling to
And keep me everywhere you are
It's just enough to steal my heart and run
And fade out with the falling sun

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and keep me

Tell me that someday you'll be returning
And maybe
Maybe I'll believe

It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really far
It's just enough to see a shooting star
To know you're never really gone

Oh, please don't go
Let me have you just one moment more
Oh, all I need
All I want is just one moment more
You've got to hold me and maybe I'll believe
So hold me
Even though I know you're leaving
