Lyrics These Are The Moments - Carrie Newcomer

These Are The Moments

Nobody’s gonna know years from now
No one gonna care why and how
No story or scandal’s gonna matter
And so what if they do
But I’m going to leaf though the book of my days
And grieve each one I threw away
Hold each moment close and keep it like a photograph
Who loves you now?
Who loved you then?
Who do you love?
I remember your young strong heart
I cried through two green streetlights
I slept with my face to the wall
Night after night after night
Who loves you now?
Who loved you then?
Who do you love?
These are the moments you have to seize
Put down those weights you carry around
These are the truth that will set you free
These are the moments we give ourselves
Who loves you now?
Who loved you then?
Who do you love?
A lot of shining words will come up lies
There’s a lot of wisdom in silence
We put our faith in political systems
Sex or God or Science
Who loves you now?
Who loved you then?
Who do you love?
These are the moments you have to seize
Put down those weights you carry around
These are the truths that will set you free
These are the moments we give ourselves
