Stolen Moments
R. Harlan Smith & Chris Nielsen Lyrics

I LEFT THE HOUSE TO DO SOME WINDOW SHOPPING
I left my house aimlessly with no commitment, hoping to peruse stores looking at items through the windows before deciding to enter.

WHEN I MET AN OLD SWEETHEART I USED TO KNOW
When by chance, I encountered someone whom I used to be intimately connected with and had strong romantic feelings for.

WHEN HE TOUCHED MY HAND A TREMBLING SHOOK MY BODY
When he reached out and made physical contact with my hand, my body involuntarily shook and quivered due to intense emotion.

AND I REMEMBERED HOW I USED TO LOVE HIM SO
I was aware of how much I truly loved and cherished this person when I was in a relationship with them before.

WE PASSED AN HOUR WITH TALK AND SCOTCH AND WATER
After reconnecting, we talked for an hour and had a couple of drinks - scotch and water, to be precise.

AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE SHOULD BE LEAVING SOON
Soon after, she gave me an advance notice that she would have to depart soon.

BUT WE WERE HUNGRY FOR SOME PRECIOUS STOLEN MOMENTS
We both had a strong and unyielding desire to spend more time together in a highly secretive manner, as this was our chance to cherish the few, priceless moments that we had been able to steal.

NOW HERE WE ARE IN THIS MOTEL ROOM
As a result, now we find ourselves in the privacy of a motel room, away from prying eyes and away from any potential judgment.

PLEASE LET ME HOLD YOU FOR A MOMENT
I deeply desire to hold and embrace you for a short-span of time.

AND PLEASE LET THIS MOMENT LAST FOREVER
And if it were possible, I want this moment to continue into eternity, perpetuating a state of euphoria and contentment between us both.

LET ME KISS THE LIPS THAT ONCE TOLD ME THEY LOVED ME
I yearn for the opportunity to taste your tender, luscious lips once again, reliving the fond memories of yesteryears - when you had professed your love for me.

AND THAT THEY WOULD BE MINE FOREVER
And back then, when you made those promises, you had promised that they would be mine exclusively, forever.

NOW I'M BACK AT HOME WITH PRECIOUS STOLEN MEMORIES
Although I am physically at home, my mind is still fixated on the moments together that we had secretly shared and savored - they are my treasured memories.

I KNOW I NEVER WILL FORGET THIS DAY
I am certain that I will never forget this day because it marked a momentous occurrence where I witnessed and experienced my deepest and most profound emotions.

THE YEARS HAVE CHANGED OUT LIVES BUT NOT OUR FEELINGS
As the years have gone by, our lives have taken divergent paths, but the way we felt for each other has stayed the same and has only grown stronger.

AND I'LL REMEMBER ALWAYS WHEN I HEARD HER SAY
Of all the things that happened, I'll never forget when she requested that I hold her and kiss her in that moment forever.
