Imagine if I was given one moment,
Just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last

I'd put the moment in a safe
within my heart abode
I could open it when I wanted
and only I would know the code

I could choose a time of laughing
a time of happiness and fin
I could choose a time that tried me
through everything I've done

I sat and thought about what a moment
would always make me smile
One that would always push me
to walk that extra mile

If I'm feeling sad and low
if I'm struggling with what to do
I can go and open my little safe
and watch my moment through

There are moments I can think of
that would life my spirits every time
the moments when you picked me up
when the road was hard to climb

For me to only pick one moment
to cherish save and keep
is proving difficult
as I've gathered up a heap!

I've dug deep inside my heart
found the safe and looked inside
there was room for lots of moments
in fact hundreds if I tried

I'm building my own little library
embedded in my heart
for all the moments spent with you
before you had to part

I can open it whenever I like
pick a moment and watch it through
my little library acts as a promise
I'll never forget you
