David Crosby - One For Every Moment lyrics

One For Every Moment (3:59)

Words and Music: James Raymond

She would run across the barren land

And pause to let the light caress her

Ask the earth to share its secrets

And listen for the wind to tell her

He could see her so very clearly

Dancing as the moon rose to see

He could feel her breath upon him

Letting all the doubt go free

He looked to the desert sky

Counting all the stars above her

One for every moment he would love her

One for every moment he would love her

She would walk to where the land and sea

met each other in a dance of violence

She found a treasure of untold beauty

Tossed it back and swore herself to silence

He could see her so very clearly

Dancing as the moon rose to see

He could feel her breath upon him

Letting all the doubt go free

He looked to the desert sky

Counting all the stars above her

One for every moment he would love her

One for every moment he would love her
