A Moment of Your Time (The Star Song)

I was sitting by the sea, I was staring into space
The waves crash by my feet. All I see is your face
staring back at me the way you used to do
when we'd sit by the sea.
When it was me and you.

Time washes away the rain.
It always seems to be the same;
I'm left alone to face my shame.
All alone again.

And I'm looking at the sky, I'm wishing on the stars
and it almost makes me cry to think that they're
not as far as you are. If you can believe it
the stars are closer than you are, if only by a minute
of my time.
I'd trade a hundred years for just a moment of your time
if I only had the time.
If I only had the time...

Soaking from the rain I stand up in a daze
I slowly turn around and walk toward the place
where I first heard your name whispered in the breeze
but now I'm tired of this game
The loser is always me.

Finally a ray of hope appears
only to be washed away with tears
the minutes slowly turning into years
I'm left alone to face my fears.

And I'm looking at the sky, I'm wishing on the stars
and it almost makes me cry to think that they're
not as far as you are. If you can believe it
the stars are closer than you are, if only by a minute
of my time.
I'd trade a hundred years for just a moment of your time
if I only had the time.
If I only had the time...

I'm walking in the rain. The glow of the full moon
accentuates the pain of thinking of you
standing so far away, farther than the stars
So far away the rain can't get to where you are.
