t's not what you say
It's not what you do
That makes me reach out to you
When the day is through.

it's a feelin' comes over me
I just can't explain
It's deeper than oceans
Longer than a lifetime
And just never leaves.

When the heart is wounded
And love walks in
You know you'll live again
You know you will.

For a feelin' comes over you
You just can't explain
It's deeper than oceans
Longer than a lifetime
And just never leaves.

And you fly where the eagles fly
You dance with the stars at night
You reach with all your might
For your moment in time.

(bridge)

Tonight the moonlight
Lights up the dark sky
A love in your eyes
Or you just can't hide.

For a feelin' comes over you
You just can't explain
It's deeper than oceans
Longer than a lifetime
And just never leaves.

And you fly where the eagles fly
You dance with the stars at night
You reach with all your might
For your moment in time.

And you fly where the eagles fly
You dance with the stars at night
You reach with all your might
For your moment in time.

Your moment in time...

Moment in time...

Moment in time...
