Once I was a child
Living my life day by day
I laughed, I smiled
Trials and troubles seemed
So very far away

Oh, but now I’ve up and grown
Left the childhood that I’d known

I seem to recall
Days were carefree, they were innocent
Can time slip by so swiftly?
Or do children grow so fast?
What I’m holding here
Is a miracle beyond compare
Can I hold on forever?
I don’t want this hour to pass

Once there was a girl
She was crazy about me
She was the, the center of my world
I thought that she and I
Were truly meant to be

But in a heartbeat she was gone
More surprising, I moved on

I seem to recall
That she said she loved me more than life
Are words so temporary?
Or can feelings change so fast?
What I’m holding here
Is a miracle beyond compare
Can I hold on forever?
I don’t want this hour to pass

Right now is too precious
Mustn’t let it skip past
I just want this moment to last

Once it was just me and you
Living together happily
Seems only yesterday we said “I do”
And suddenly now
We’ve begun a family

And where once were two, now three
And now my life is more than me

I seem to recall
Months spent waiting for this very day
Are our lives no more than
An attempt to escape the past?
But what I’m holding here
Is a miracle beyond compare
Can I hold on forever?
I don’t want this hour to pass

What I’m holding here
Is a mystery beyond compare
Can I hold on forever?
I don’t want this hour to pass
Can I hold on forever?
I don’t want this hour to pass
I don’t want this hour to pass
I don’t want this hour to pass
