Lyrics
MOMENTS IN THE WIND
Photographs are fadin’, time is movin’ on
Life is such a story to behold
Memories are fleetin’, what have I to say?
Once there was a fable to be told
Moments in the wind, moments in the wind
Do not let ‘em blow your dreams away
Photographs are fadin’, memories fadin’ too
Please don’t let ‘em, fade away from you
Once I had a daydream, a moment of reverie
I dreamed that I was singin’, this here song
Hold onto your dreams my friend, for they will see you through
Hold on tight and never let ‘em go
Moments in the wind, moments in the wind
Do not let ‘em blow your dreams away
Photographs are fadin’, memories fadin’ too
Please don’t let ‘em, fade away from you
People passin’ through my life, I see ‘em pass me by
Workers, classmates, family and friends
Where have they all gone to? Oh wherever did they go?
Gone but not forgotten in the wind
Moments in the wind, moments in the wind
Do not let ‘em blow your dreams away
Photographs are fadin’, memories fadin’ too
Please don’t let ‘em, fade away from you
Time keeps moving forward, but I keep lookin back
Why am I such a sentimental fool?
A breeze is blowing through my life, and I keep movin’ on
That breeze is still remindin’ me of you
Moments in the wind, moments in the wind
Do not let ‘em blow your dreams away
Photographs are fadin’, memories fadin’ too
Please don’t let ‘em, fade away from you
Photographs are swirlin’ all, around me in the yard
The wind is blowin’ all of them away
How can I hold onto what photography can’t capture?
How can I hold onto them, today?
Moments in the wind, moments in the wind
Do not let ‘em blow your dreams away
Photographs are fadin’, memories fadin’ too
Please don’t let ‘em, fade away from you
Please don’t let ‘em, fade away today
