"Moments Like This" lyrics

Alison Krauss & Union Station Lyrics

"Moments Like This"
(from "Twister" soundtrack)

What a dying world redefines
The reasons we strive to exist
Refrain control or we're bound to learn
The meaning of moments like this

'Cause in the peaceful lull, 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
But then the clouds catch fire and the oceans 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 will be harnessed
With the longing and sadness, the clouds will gray
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

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


Thanks to Elijah for adding these lyrics.
