Just before I wrote this song in 1979 I noticed that my shyness was keeping me from getting to know people that I liked. And a repeating theme was that I'd finally loosen up and start spending time with them only to find out they were about to move away. It had happened often enough that I felt like needed to write about it. So, well, I did. - Paul Fifield

Let's Take This Moment

If you go away my friend and you leave me all alone
Do you think I’ll ever be the same?
And if you stay away too long and the years go driftin’ by
Do you think I’ll still recall your name?

    Let’s take this moment that we have right now
    And make it grow for all time
    And let’s hold on to who we are somehow
    We’ll stay together all our lives

Why is it that I always wait until there’s no time left at all
Before I finally start to get to know
People that I’ve been around for oh so many years
Why do I wait until they go

    Let’s take this moment that we have right now
    And make it grow for all time
    And let’s hold on to who we are somehow
    We’ll stay together all our lives

        Time goes by, people change, we don’t know what’s in store [BR]
        It’s not too late, we have a choice, let’s open up the door

So if you feel the way I do, then let’s make ourselves a vow
To never ever let this feelin’ die
Then even as the years roll by we can make this moment grow
We won’t ever have to say goodbye

    Let’s take this moment that we have right now
    And make it grow for all time
    And let’s hold on to who we are somehow
    We’ll stay together all our lives

    We’ll stay together all our lives
