If I had to choose a moment in time
To take with me into eternity
I would choose this,
This moment with you in my arms
I know we've lost the final battle
I know we are prisoners,
I can hear chains rattle
But I'm a prisoner of this moment with you in my arms

You in my arms

I have a love
I have a love for this world,
A kind of love that will break my heart
A kind of love that reconstructs and remodels the past
That adds a dryness to the dry August grass
That adds the sunshine to the magnifying glass
And makes me fight for something that just can't last

You in my arms

If I had to choose a moment in time
To take with me into eternity
I'd choose this moment with you in my arms

You in my arms
