You know I really can't recall the details
It's horrific how the memory fails
As it fades into a blow, I forget just how things were
My mind's become a wanderer

But wasn't there a smile once so remarkable
That's it's still on fire in my book of dreams
That pile of memories, all of you
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/michael+feinstein/wasnt+there+a+moment_20826707.html ]
But when I saw it then through
Why do I never find a clue
To why that kissing smile withdrew
Wasn't there a moment where I knew?

Wasn't there a time when life was beautiful?
Like a pantomime
When actors move sublimely sure of what they do
And my regrets are through

But there's one mystery I still pursue
When life was beautiful and blue
Wasn't there a moment?
I can't recall the moment

But wasn't there a moment
When you loved me too?
