Analysis of But For A Moment
I saw you today
I waved
But for a moment
I thought of you today
But for a moment
I smiled
My heart aches today
But for a moment
You're gone
Living with the memory
But for a moment
You are with me
But for a moment
Exactly when I need you
Thank you
I love you
Beautiful
But for a moments.
