I've been workin' up a fierce sweat
All day out pickin' field stones
Dream her shape to pull me through
Oh Lord, what can I do
My angel from the clouds
All the heavens that she endows
Sky blues that hold the truth
A cherry blush for my sweet tooth
Sometimes you can lose more than a moment
Heartbeat in the turn of the world's romance
Sometimes you can lose more than a moment
Heartbeat in the turn of the world's romance
First time I caught her smile
I'd been workin' for a hard while
Chest was tight, head was raw
Had no time for life for law
She appeared in an afterglow
Brought something I had never known
A soft shelter and tenderness
All the love her broken heart possessed
Sometimes you can lose more than a moment
Heartbeat in the turn of the world's romance
Sometimes you can lose more than a moment
Heartbeat in the turn of the world's romance
She asked no questions
So I told no lies
In a world never meant for me
I still have Miss Midnight
Promises of how we care
How much we really share
In the moonlight it can only be
A moment borne out of you and me
Sometimes all you have is this moment
This has always been your one chance
Life is wrapped up in this moment
So step aside and let your soul dance
Sometimes you can lose more than a moment
Heartbeat in the turn of the world's romance
Sometimes you can lose more than a moment
Heartbeat in the turn of the world's romance
