Only for a Moment

I'll hold your hand when mine is gone,
I'll walk beside you, all life long.
And when you dream, I'll meet you there,
You'll find me close, though none knows where.

Before I knew what love could be,
My heart had chosen you for me.
And every day, that love would grow,
Much more than I could ever show.

When you look back into the glass,
And see the years that slowly pass,
Remember how I looked at you,
And all the love I always knew.

And in the wrinkles round your eyes,
In every smile that slowly shines,
You'll find the love I left with you,
Still in your heart, still beating too.

And when you hear that voice inside,
The one that says, go on, just try,
That's me, still proud of all you do,
Still saying, love, I believe in you.

If not you, who? You know you can.
I'll hold your hand through all your plans.
And when a mountain blocks your way,
Remember what I used to say.

One day my heart will beat no more,
My hand won't reach for yours once more.
But all the love I have for you
Will stay when I am gone from view.

So when you miss me, look within,
And find the place I've always been.
Not gone forever, not the end,
Just for a moment, until then.
