This is the Moment
Robert Cuccioli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the moment
This is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way

Every endeavor
I have made, ever
Is coming into play
Is here and now, today

This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme

Give me this moment
This precious chance
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last

This is the moment
When all I've done
All the dreaming
Scheming and screaming
Become one

This is the day
See it sparkle and shine
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine

For all these years
I've faced the world alone
And now the time has come
To prove to them I've made it
On my own

This is the moment
My final test
Destiny beckoned
I never reckoned second Best

I won't look down
I must not fall
This is the moment
The sweetest moment of them all

This is the moment
Damn all the odds
This day, or never
I'll sit forever
With the gods

When I look back
I will always recall
Moment for moment
This was the moment




The greatest moment
Of them all

This was one of my brothers favorite songs. We saw this play in CT, Providence, and NYC. Bob was always into the dash. The way he lived. He was one of the most special people on earth, caring for all other people and helped many many people in his life time. So Rest in Peace Brother Bob and David. I will see again someday! Thank you for this beautiful song!

@lava9991

I was lucky enough to have known Bob before he ever became famous. When I first saw Bob perform this phenomenal song on broadway I cried. The song epitomized how hard Bob worked to get where he truly belonged. Im happy to say that Bob is still a very down to earth & charming man. May you have continued success my friend!! Love Always, Margaret

Lucky enough to have seen Robert Cuccioli perform this in "Jekyll & Hyde." First time I ever saw a standing ovation to a performance closing the first act! Well deserved, I might add. Brilliant!

@MasterEdgar2010

Robert Cuccioli delivers the message of the song with extreme intensity and hearfelt emotions. Magnificent VIBRATO!! He is the best performer of this broadway musical production. I would even consider the talent that fits him, the song, and the music into one. Bravo!!

@suzannerider9460

This is known as the Dramatic Irony song in the musical. It is used to establish a sense of triumph before tragedy. The calm before the Storm , if you see it that way.

@xiage965

It's the "song that goes like this".
