One Moment More

This is a song by one of my favorite musicians, Mindy Smith.  She is simply lovely.  She was mis-classified as as Christian singer because she wrote a song about returning to Jesus.  It's an awesome and haunting song about obsessive compulsion and fear and how Jesus brought her through a very rough time in her life.  I heard an interview where she said they didn't care so much for her when they found out she didn't really go to church.  She has sung many of my favorite songs.

I know a beautiful man who filled my life for 16 months with all the emotions of a relationship and now he's gone.  We are likely both to blame.  I am sad.  I know he is too.  There are just times when beauty comes to an end and that time came and I am sorry my dear.  It's just stupid love.

There are parts of this song that apply to you and to me.  Farewell my friend and my love. It was really real and I was happy, now I'm sad.  We are both better because of the other.  There are parts of this song that suggest there is hope but really it's more about the end and the love and the wish.  I wish you love and happiness and I will always remember you fondly.

Hold Me

Even though I know you're leaving

And show me

All the reasons you would stay

It's just enough to feel your breath on mine

To warm my soul and ease my mind

You've got to hold me and show me now

Give me

Just one part of you to cling to

And keep me

Everywhere you are

It's just enough to steal my heart and run

Then fade out with the falling sun

Oh, Please don't go

Let me have you just one moment more

Oh, all I need, All I want is just one moment more

You've got to hold me and keep me now

Tell me

How some day you'll be returning

And maybe 

Maybe I'll believe

It's just enough to see a shooting star

To know you're never really far

It's just enough to see a shooting star

to know you're never really gone

Oh, please don't go

Let me have you just one moment more

Oh, all I need, 

All I want is just one moment more

Oh, please don't go, 

Let me have you just one moment more

Oh, all I need, 

All I want is just one moment more

You've got to hold me and maybe I'll believe.

So hold me, even though I know you're leaving.
