This precious moment

The cover track started life on the guitar but I had the album cover very much in mind as I wrote it

You’re looking like you’re lost in a dream
But things are never quite what they seem
And if a happy sky can be blue
I’ll give this precious moment to you

A shadow hides the light from your face
You say that you have fallen from grace
But if my secret thoughts can come true
I’ll give this precious moment to you


If there’s an angry cloud overhead
I’ll chase it with a rainbow instead
And just to show that joy can break through
I’ll give this precious moment to you
