Lyrics

HOLD THESE MOMENTS

Standing under that Magnolia tree in the sun

You're the one, baby, you're the one

These days, oh yellow days

Acacia blooming everywhere

You are there, oh yes

You are there

These days, oh eucalyptus sits fresh in the wind

I decide for myself

I will let you in, oh I will let you in

Hold these moments

Don't let them fade, don't let them go

Hold these moments

Don't let them fade, don't let them go

Hold these moments

Don't let them fade

Oh, like so many summer days they fade

Seasons change like everything changes

Red leaves in the fall

All the speeding, oh all the speeding we do

Means nothing at all, it means nothing at all

Look up all I see is a halo of redwoods sing

Roots red, ragged, against everything

Hold these moments

Don't let them fade, don't let them go

Hold these moments

Don't let them fade, don't let them go

Hold these moments

Don't let them fade

I've lived my life under their shadow

There is so much that they seem to know

Put it together, the earth and sky

As our bright little lives just speed on by

But if you could only see what I see occasionally

Sit on the porch surrounded by plum blossoms

And a skylight of green

You know what I mean, yeah you know what I mean

Across the way is a willow tree in the sun

She waves to me every day

Saying you're the one, babe

(CHORUS)
