We were walking 'long the ocean

Together hand in hand

When I stopped to write "I Love You" in the sand

And when I looked up you were standing

Ten miles out at sea

And in a sweat

I woke up from that crazy dream

As I reached to hold you in the morning light

It was your pillow

I clung to so tight



[Chorus]

For a minute there

I thought it was you

For a minute there

My prayers had finally come true

For a minute there

I began again to live

What I wouldn't give

For just a minute there



Five o'clock on Friday

Sitting at a light

When this angel walked right by me

On my right

And the cars all started honking

As my feet hit the ground

And though I chased and called

You never turned around

Oh the walk, the hair, the perfume

Were the same

How I wished she would've answered

To your name



[Repeat Chorus]



Tonight the stars in heaven

Are bright as they could be

And I swear on of them

Is winking down at me



[Repeat Chorus]



What I wouldn't give

How I'd love to live

For just a minute there
