A Glimpse of Time

Verse 1

Beneath the marquee, watching carriages pass

Midnight waltzes on the windows of glass

Footsteps dancing on the avenue stones

You took my hand and we made our own

Pre-Chorus

Flicker of streetlamps, shadows that blend

One little moment I wish wouldn’t end

Chorus

Give me a glimpse of time, just a second or two

The world spins by, but it’s me and you

Stars in your eyes, the clock disappears

Caught in a moment, forget all the years

Post-Chorus

Oh, just a glimpse, oh a glimpse

Swing it by, swing it by

Verse 2

Laughter on Main Street, jazz in the air

Sunset slipping on your golden hair

We’re lost in a moment, don’t want it to fade

Chasing the magic that midnight has made

Pre-Chorus

Snap of the fingers, blink and it’s gone

Hold on tight while the night rolls on

Chorus

Give me a glimpse of time, just a second or two

The world spins by, but it’s me and you

Stars in your eyes, the clock disappears

Caught in a moment, forget all the years

Post-Chorus

Oh, just a glimpse, oh a glimpse

Swing it by, swing it by

Bridge

Tip your hat to the moment, darling don’t blink

The band plays on while we’re lost on the brink

Moonlight’s tumbling down Seventh and Vine

I steal another heartbeat, pretend it’s still mine

Chorus

Give me a glimpse of time, just a second or two

The world spins by, but it’s me and you

Stars in your eyes, the clock disappears

Caught in a moment, forget all the years

Post-Chorus

Oh, just a glimpse, oh a glimpse

Swing it by, swing it by

Outro

And when morning is calling, I’ll tiptoe away

Pocket that glimpse, save it for a rainy day

One look behind, you’re still holding my hand

Lost in the rhythm, where memories stand

Tag

Snap one last finger, let the records rewind

Sweet silver laughter in corners we find

Every note swirling in sepia scenes

Snapshots of you tucked away in my dreams

Final Post-Chorus

Just a glimpse, just a glimpse

Swing it by, swing it by

Just a glimpse, just a glimpse

Where the moon and memories lie
