Not for One Moment

Not for one lonely moment,

Not for one troubled day,

Not for one passing hour,

Had I failed to remember you.

Yes, you who are mine;

You, who would always be the one.

And not for one passing moment,

Could you ever be truly gone.

For you are right here where I stand —

Here, where we walked beneath the stars,

And not for one waking moment,

Could you be ripped from my heart.

'Cause right from the start,

Right from that precious moment,

When your eyes met mine,

O, how I cried.

How I could have died,

Had I not learned ,

To keep you in my soul,

For I am yours and yours alone.

You are my home,

And wherever I may go,

There will never be a moment,

When I couldn't come back to you.
