Wasn't There A Moment - Michael Feinstein

You know I really can’t recall the details

It’s horrific how the memory fails

As it fades into a blow, I forget just how things were

My mind’s become a wanderer

But wasn’t there a smile once so remarkable

That’s it’s still on fire in my book of dreams

That pile of memories, all of you

But when I saw it then through

Why do I never find a clue

To why that kissing smile withdrew

Wasn’t there a moment where I knew?

Wasn’t there a time when life was beautiful?

Like a pantomime

When actors move sublimely sure of what they do

And my regrets are through

But there’s one mystery I still pursue

When life was beautiful and blue

Wasn’t there a moment?

I can’t recall the moment

But wasn’t there a moment

When you loved me too?
