lyrics

There's something different in the air tonight
Something that lingers just beyond my sight
And for a moment I can hold it if I try
But it escapes me

But I can feel it in my bones now
A subtle changing of the wind
Then I feel it vanish with the evening light
As it escapes me

Then it hits me like a memory that I had forgotten
And I'm wishing for a way to bring it back around again

But it could be something I lost
And it could be something I never had
Or something I held for such a simple fleeting moment
Then it's slipping through my fingers once again

There's something gleaming in the air tonight
It's shining brightly like the moon
And as my mind begins to finally let it in
It escapes me

But I can see it with my own eyes
And I can't begin to comprehend
This ephemeral beauty that will soon leave me behind
As it escapes me

Then it hits me like a memory that I had forgotten
And I'm wishing for a way to bring it back around again

But it could be something I lost
And it could be something I never had
Or something I held for such a simple fleeting moment
Then it's slipping through my fingers once again

Left here in a feeling with no substance
Reaching out, but it's already gone

And it could be something I lost
And it could be something I never had
And it could be something I'm longing for
But I let it pass me by

And it could be something I lost
And it could be something I never had
Or something I held for such a simple fleeting moment
And then it's gone before I had the chance to know it
But while I still recall the feeling, I will hold it
Before it's slipping through my fingers once again
