Moments That Shall Not Decay

Verse 1 There is a breath that time forgets to count A single pause where all the world stands still The sun doth hang as though it fears to set And every shape is carved in perfect light No ticking clock, no rush of passing days Chorus These are the moments that shall not decay Not written on the sand to wash away They dwell within the heart as living things Not memories, but treasures I may touch A little heaven that shall never fade Verse 2 It may be but a glance, a spoken word The quiet peace of sitting side by side The world outside may turn and fall apart But here within this frame it stays unchanged As permanent as stars upon the sky Chorus These are the moments that shall not decay Not written on the sand to wash away They dwell within the heart as living things Not memories, but treasures I may touch A little heaven that shall never fade Bridge We walk through days that vanish like the mist But carry these as torches in the dark They are the threads that weave our souls complete The only things that death may not steal away For what is truly felt becomes eternal Chorus These are the moments that shall not decay Not written on the sand to wash away They dwell within the heart as living things Not memories, but treasures I may touch A little heaven that shall never fade
