Am
Under the crimson sky, lost in the silent night

We danced along the riverside, holding each other tight

Our hearts were beating loud, in sync with the cosmic rhyme

These were our moments, our Moments in Time.

Moments in Time, oh they fly
Am C
Like a bird in the summer sky
G Em
Hold them close, don’t let them die
Am C
These are our Moments in Time.

(Verse 2)
Am
We watched the sun go down, painting the sky ablaze
Em
In your eyes I found, love’s enchanting gaze
F
In the whispers of the wind, I heard a sweet chime
C
Echoing our Moments, our Moments in Time.

Moments in Time, they’re sublime

Like an everlasting rhyme
G Em
Hold them close, they are thine
Am C
These are our Moments in Time.
