Rick Suchow: Music

Only For A Moment

(demo for Marc Anthony)
words & music: Rick Suchow

Story: Tried to get this to Marc via one of his band members
Hindsight: Could have recorded vocal better
Aftermath: Think it still has potential somewhere

How could I know yesterday
We'd meet again in that way
Our story suspended in time
You looked so beautiful to me
Your eyes the color of the sea
And lips like the sweetest of wine

And when I heard you say hello
I drifted away and imagined that place long ago

And for a moment I was right back in your arms again
Remembering the way it used to be
And for a moment I was lost inside my heart again
Believing you'd still come back to me
But only for a moment, never meant to be

And then he suddenly appeared
Whispered softly in your ear
And kissed you like I used to do
You introduced your new love
Your one and only special love
And there I was, feelin' like a fool

And though I had to say goodbye
My world slipped away
And I found myself lost in your eyes

And for a moment I was right back in your arms again
Remembering the way it used to be
And for a moment I was lost inside my heart again
Believing you'd still come back to me
But only for a moment...

Oh that moment in time, when you were all mine
Baby you were my love and my life

And though I had to say goodbye
My world slipped away
And I found myself lost in your eyes

And for a moment I was right back in your arms again
Remembering the way it used to be
And for a moment I was lost inside my heart again
Believing you'd still come back to me

But only for a moment (only for a moment)
Only for a moment (a moment, a moment)
Only for a moment (only for a moment)
Never meant to be
