A baby is born, a mother in tears

Sharing this wonderful moment in life

By a moment in time

That their love is defined

By a moment in time

A moment in time, it could be now

It takes but a moment exchanging a vow

A moment in time but it means so much

By someone we love or somebody new

We learned to love and our lives are renewed

It’s moments like this when our life is defined

By a moment in time


I don’t know what to call the chord in the next to the last line so I indicated where my fingers are. It’s a really pretty sounding chord in this context whatever it is.
