Peter, Paul & Mary - But a Moment Lyrics

Memory moves us past each other Time is a ribbon without end Love is the lesson we keep learning Death but a moment we must spend Last week as I made our lunch We talked of yesterdays I remember more than you That happens lots these days But how we laughed, I almost cried And the afternoon flew by As we sat on the patio sipping our drinks And the sunlight began to die Memory moves us past each other Time is a ribbon without an end Love is the lesson we keep learning Death but a moment we must spend And we try to give each other comfort We try to hold off that dark night Each of us careful of the other Keeping our own fear out of sight Ah, you know I’ve always loved you And I know you’ve loved me too So it’s hard to watch you crumble And forget all that you knew Yesterday while I was driving Sunlight streaming through the trees Suddenly my heartache parted And suddenly I felt at ease You will love me all your life And I will love you all of mine That’s the gift we give each other That’s the gift divine Memory moves us past each other Though time is a ribbon without an end Love’s still the lesson we keep learning And death but a moment we must spend Peter, Paul & Mary Lyrics But a Moment Lyrics
