This moment, this minute

And each second in it

Will leave a glow upon the sky

And as time goes by, it will never die

 

This will be my shining hour

Calm and happy and bright

And in my dreams, your face will flower

Through the darkness of the night

 

Like the lights of home before me

Or an angel, who's watching o'er me

This will be my shining hour

'til I'm with you again

 

<instrumental>

 

 (Like the lights of home before me)

 (Or an angel watching o'er me)

This will be my shining hour

'til I'm with you again
