At the Moment

At the moment they brought me the message
 I was oceans and hours away
 Wondering what I was doing
 The moment that you slipped away
 At the moment I'm looking out windows
 At a night that hold only one star
 In the morning it's gone but I know it's still
 Shining afar
 At the moment we raised up our voices
 And a bit of our soul was set free
 I'm still humbled and awed by the beauty
 Of the small part of you that's in me
 We laughed and we danced on the table
 And confounded the silence with song
 In the dark of this night still it echoes so brightly
 And strong
 I don't look for reward ever after
 For I hold this life much too dear
 From what I can tell both heaven and hell
 We create in abundance right here
 When the fire that burned is but ashes
 And the stories have all been retold
 The heat and the light will sustain us
 Long after the hearth has grown cold
 And grief has a place at the table
 For it's part of what we are made of
 And it'll stay long enough to remind us its mother
 Is love
 At the moment our lives become memory
 And all of our dreaming is done
 We shed what it is makes us different
 And we don what it is makes us one
 What is memory but time rendered timeless
 Some small proof we each live anew
 I refuse to surrender that small part of me
 That is you
 Some mark their days by the hours
 Some mark their days by the signs
 Me? I look to that star and where ever we are
 We will shine
