Dan Fogelberg Stolen Moments
Every time we speak, our words betray intentions,
insincere inventions that never quite reach the heart.
So we turn the other cheek and gather our defenses,
again rebuild the fences that just been keeping us apart.
In the time it takes us to look beyond the lies,
we could be sailing through each others' eyes.
In those stolen moments when love is caught off guard,
we see it never had to be this hard.
Waiting out the worst, we keep the best inside us
in hopes our hearts can hide us, in hopes our fears don't show.
And you know we're not the first to try and breach the distance,
and though we meet resistance, the love between us grows.
In the time it takes us to look beyond the lies,
we could be sailing through each others' eyes.
In those stolen moments when love is caught off guard,
we see it never had to be this hard.
