A Child Is Only A Moment

(альбом: Mothers & Daughters - 1997)

Spring will return to the meadow
When the long winter's chill fades away
Tomorrow, the blossoms will open their eyes
To the skies, of a brand new day

No matter how dark be the nightfall
Each day the sun is reborn
To shine on the beauties and wonders
That stir with new life every glorious morn

Most of the treasures we cherish
Can delight us again and again
A rose in a book and the murmuring brook
As it wanders across the glen

The words of a poet that lie on the page
Can recapture the soul of the past
A song in the heart can be sung and re-echoed
As long as our voices may last

But a child is only a moment
Only a snowflake of sweet remember when
Yes, a child is only a moment
A wonderful moment that never comes again

Yes, a child is only a moment
Hold on to that moment, for it never comes again
