Only A Moment Away
Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on over, now don`t be shy
All your stars and your planets are `bout to align
Why not surrender to the gleam in my eyes?
Come and get it, before it dies

Afraid to take a chance
Been victimized by circumstance
Gather up your fears and let `em go
That`s over now, that`s over now

I`ll be your friend when you need one to turn to
Call out my name and I`ll always be there
Wherever you go just remember I love you
Whenever you start to feel the pain
I`m only a moment away

Dust off the ashes and take my hand
I will pull you away from the quick in the sand
Tonight is the night we reach the promised land
When you whisper that I`m your man

You`re clinging to the past
Scared to go too far too fast
Nothing`s gonna change `till you let go
I`ll show you how, I`ll show you how

I`ll be your friend when you need one to turn to
Call out my name and I`ll always be there
Wherever you go just remember I love you
Whenever you start to feel the pain
I`m only a moment away

That`s over now, that`s over now
Yeah!!

I`ll be your friend when you need one to turn to
Call out my name and I`ll always be there
Wherever you go just remember I love you
Whenever you start to feel the pain
I`m only a moment away

I`ll be your friend when you need one to turn to
Call out my name and I`ll always be there
Wherever you go just remember I love you




Whenever you start to feel the pain
I`m only a moment away
