Instant

Music & Lyrics: J. Himmelsbach

When the moment came
I couldn't turn away
All my high ideals and honorable words
Melted
Under your warm whispers in my ear
I couldn't help myself
I had to interfere

I suppose we were both askin' for it
A warm hug here
A slow dance there
A hand in hand
An endless silent gaze into your eyes and into mine
Even as we proclaimed our innocence

But despite all that you said
I still cant help thinking that I
May have just ruined your life
And what of the promise I made
To stand on the sidelines unless you made the call
But on the other hand
There's gotta be something there that
We both know is right
And maybe, just maybe
Our lives will be okay after all

And oh, the past became a shadow
And oh, the future's just a memory
And oh, my whole universe was in your eyes

The world changed in that instant
My whole life looks different now
Because of what your eyes have seen
And I don't even know if I'm a saint or a sinner
Or maybe just a heapin' helpin' of both
You said it was your choice
You said it was your choice
But if you could make that choice again
Would your answer be the same, because

Despite all that you said
I still cant help thinking that I
May have just ruined your life
And what of the promise I made
To stand on the sidelines unless you made the call
But on the other hand
There's gotta be something there that
We both know is right
And maybe, just maybe
Our lives will be okay...
After all
