This moment
This moment now is why we live.
Not for the future or the past.
I'll try my best to always give,
The greatest moments that will last.
Let's laugh and joke and stay a while.
So good to meet you again.
To tell you you're beautiful and see you smile,
I'll gladly begin again and again.
So much joy embracing simple things.
The sincere reaction warms my heart.
The excitement a good moment brings,
Is by far my favorite part.
You are beautiful, funny, smart and awesome,
And I will remind you every day.
I'll plant the seed and watch it blossom,
And in that moment we will stay.
Enjoy the music from the band.
Come on and dance with me.
Reach out to me and grab my hand.
Live again young wild and free.
Are you happy? Are you feeling good?
The most important time is today.
Future not promised and past stay where it should.
If you're happy today all will be ok.
