Michel Griffin's Original Lyrics

Let the Moment Last

I know that feeling that's misting up your eyes
I know it's sent you reeling and you know I sympathise;
But you can't live in the future or re-invent the past
So lean your head against the evening and let the moment last.

'Cos nobody wants to live a sad song
Tears'll blur your vision when you're gazing at the moon
Nobody wants to live a sad song
So smile, and we'll both be smiling soon

You know this country town just fits me like a glove
I'm hoping it could wrap its arms round you
If there's places we'll never see -
Well, you know that's fine by me:
There's a universe in every bead of dew.

In the warm lazy waters of the Adriatic sea
Lies a craggy little island where you feel you want to be
But you can't live in the future or re-invent the past
Lean your head against the evening and let this moment last.

'Cos nobody wants to live a sad song
Tears'll blur your vision when you're gazing at the moon
Nobody wants to live a sad song
So smile, and we'll both be smiling soon
Smile, and we'll both be smiling soon ....
Let's live in our very own cocoon ....
Forget that it's a rainy afternoon ....
Tonight there's gonna be a harvest moon ...
So let the moment last.
