...in this fleeting moment here.
A song by Tom Dundee, that goes out to all those here, or anywhere, coping with the lose, or anticipated lose, of a loved one, either through their own expected death, or that of the other -
This Fleeting Moment
If the sun shone all the time and midnight never came
and the clouds all blew away and we never faced the rain
Would we miss the dark, appreciate the dawn
Would we miss the pain, when all the pain was gone
What would we call the sound of the gentle mourning dove
Would we know of joy, without the loss of love
As the flick'ring candle burns does the mystery remain
If the season didn't turn, would the rose still mean the same
Would would be the reason, then, if we never had to cry
for passion to exist, if we never had to die?
So come lay with me, my love, and I will hold you near
And we'll cherish what we have, in this fleeting moment here
Perhaps the greatest gift of all, from grandeur to subtle tear
Is the impending loss we face, in this fleeting moment here
So come lay with me, my love, and I will hold you near
And we'll cherish what we have, in this fleeting moment here
Tom died in 2006 of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Here's a version of the song by James Lee Stanley
