Title:
“One More Moment”
Full song lyrics:
Verse 1: [Em – G – D – A]
In this crowded room, my eyes find yours, [Em]
The world outside stops, caught in pause. [G]
Our silent words trace the air, [D]
Whispered promises we dare, [A]
Chorus: [C – G – D]
One more moment, just you and I, [C]
Underneath the city’s starless sky. [G]
In your arms, I found my home, [D]
In your love, I’ve known the unknown. [C]
Verse 2: [Em – G – D – A]
Your laughter echoes in my mind, [Em]
In every corner, your memories I find. [G]
Your touch, your smile, the sweet torment, [D]
Our love painted in vibrant pigment. [A]
Chorus: [C – G – D]
One more moment, in your embrace, [C]
In your eyes, I found my place. [G]
One more moment, under this moon, [D]
With you, dawn can’t come too soon. [C]
