Tori Amos - A Moment In Time Lyrics

i can hardly believe
it's been a year now
since i was dependant on the world
that revolved around your love
where to those christmases go so quickly
i can see those eyes so vividly
watching starlight turn to dawn
and as a child i welcomed prejudice
as a lover i spoke of
next year and next year
standing by your side
but when one's heart is in the way
i can't see past a moment in time
and how i relied
upon your strength to hide
my wounds from one who criticized
and by sunrise i'd been waiting
just to catch a tear that had been dried
