Moments
The Butlers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking on the sand
I feel the moon pulling the tide
As I pull your hand
Right into mine
I tell you how I think you have a nice heartbeat
And I don′t really understand
There's never been an easy way to tell a girl
Let alone you
How i feel today
Right here in this moment now
Right here in this moment now
Right here in this moment now
I′m right here in this moment now
Baby we can fly away
Fly away to the moon and stars
And every single galaxy
See what its like on the moon or mars
And is there life up there
I guess well never see
But all I know is that I'm so
Content with you right next to me
Living life with so many
This is life moments
Tell me we can fly away
Fly away to the moon and stars
And every single galaxy
See what its like on the moon or mars
And is there life up there
I guess well never see
But all I know is that I'm so
Content with you right next to me




Living life with so many
This is life moments
