It took a lifetime to find you
And a second to lose you
It took a lifetime to hide my feelings
And a second to uncover them
It took a lifetime to know you
And a second to love you
It took a lifetime to
Hold you at a distance
And a second to hold you close
It took a lifetime to learn
How much a second is worth
It took a lifetime to understand
How much a second can mean
It took a second to
Set everything in place
