Kind words don't move the earth
But if it can improve your self worth
Why do I let these moments pass me by
Instead I'm quick to judge
And I'm quick to blame
I'm quick to criticize
Quick to maim
It's hard to change
But I'll try
Oh I'll try

So maybe it's your best friend
Or the next stranger you see
Maybe it's your neighbor
Maybe it's you
Maybe it's me
Who needs to hear encouragement
To make it through the day
Who needs to hear whatever kind words
You might have to say
It doesn't matter where you're going
Or where you have been
'Cuz right now is the perfect moment
For us to begin
To appreciate each other
In new and different ways
Oh please don't let another golden Moment
Slip Away
Appreciate each other
More and more each day
Oh please don't let another golden Moment
Slip Away

- from The Moment Slipped Away
by Christine Lavin

In the instant that you love someone
In the second that the hammer hits
Reality runs up your spine
And the pieces finally fit

And all I ever needed was the one
Like freedom fields where wild horses run
When stars collide like you and I
No shadows block the sun
You're all I've ever needed
Baby you're the one

tart and tangy

dating and relationships are like buying cars... you go for the test drive, swear under your breath a lot and ride them until they break down... because no matter how hard you shop around, you can still find a lemon...
