about

This song began life as work-for-hire fodder, but the melody just wormed itself into me, and I had to keep it for myself. Like several songs on this album, it was recorded using Mitchell Snow's magic Gibson LG-3 acoustic. Wonderful supporting work from Dan Emmett, Peter Holsapple, and Corky McClellan. This is the third of three songs mixed beautifully by Chris Stamey, who also made some nice editing and arrangement suggestions.

lyrics

In a Moment (Sung For Me)

you can only go so far 
before your race is run
 you can wish on shooting stars
 brighter than the sun  

thought I’d seen the heaven’s jewels
 the back side of the moon
 I had not heard anything
 until your lonesome tune

  and in a moment 
it all changed for me 
the song your eyes sent
 this melody
 sung for me

you can run as far as oceans
 a league or more tonight
 I will burn a heat not measured
 in grades of Fahrenheit  
we can try to solve the clues
 plumb the fevers deep
 or we can sing in harmony
 and rock ourselves to sleep

and in a moment
 it all changed for me
 the song your eyes sent
 this melody
 sung for me

there’s a love that strikes like lightning
burns a man inside 
there’s a heat keeps you fighting
 past the point of pride

and in a moment 
it all changed for me
 the song your eyes sent 
this melody
 sung for me
