Dan Fogelberg - Stolen Moments lyrics

Every time we speak, our words betray intentions

Insincere inventions that never quite reach the heart

So we turn the other cheek and gather our defenses

Again rebuild the fences that just been keeping us apart

Waiting out the worst, we keep the best inside us

In hopes our hearts can hide us, in hopes our tears don't show

And you know we're not the first to try and breach the distance

And though we meet resistance the love between us grows

And in the time it takes us to look beyond the lies

We could be sailing through each other's eyes

And in those stolen moments when love is caught off guard

We see it never had to be this hard

Every time we speak, our words betray intentions

Insincere inventions that never quite reach the heart

So we turn the other cheek and gather our defenses

Again rebuild the fences that just been keeping us apart

And in the time it takes us to look beyond the lies

We could be sailing through each other's eyes

And in those stolen moments when love is caught off guard

We see it never had to be this hard
