IN A MOMENT

Lorraine Wade 1967 (St. Clair, Alabama)



It could have been a glance or just a chance.
A moment in time for a slow dance.
I saw your smile on your face an knew I didn't stand a chance.
My heart was capture in that moment a hope for romance.
As you walk threw the crowd to make it too your table.
This is my chance, I'm willing an I'm able.
With all the courage and hope I walk toward you.
Not knowing how you will react, or even if I can reach you.
So I open my mouth hoping this moment will last a life time.
To say could you, would you be my valentine
