A Second in Time
by Paul LittleA second in time
A second in time
Can pass us by so quickly
And we never stop to notice
What can be won or lost
In that blinking of an eye.
A second in time
Thats how long it took
For me to know that I loved you
And that I would forever
No matter how the seconds passed.
A second in time
Can change the world forever
Sometimes good, other times bad
But thats how long a decision takes to be made
And mostly we dont even see it.
A second in time
The mere tick of the clock
That sound we didnt even hear
Didnt even care about
Was long enough for it to fall apart.
A second in time
It replays in my mind
On an endless loop
The moment I chose to walk away
The instant the regret began.
A second in time
Can stretch into infinity
So welcome to where time stands still
Because pain is often timeless
And I cant forget what once was.
