  • How does a moment last forever?
    How can a story never die?
    It is love we must hold onto
    Never easy, but we try
    Sometimes our happiness is captured
    Somehow, our time and place stand still
    Love lives on inside our hearts and always will

    Minutes turn to hours, days to years then gone
    But when all else has been forgotten
    Still our song lives on

    Maybe some moments weren't so perfect
    Maybe some memories not so sweet
    But we have to know some bad times
    Or are lives are incomplete
    Then when the shadows overtake us
    Just when we feel all hope is gone
    We'll hear our song and know once more
    Our love lives on

    How does a moment last forever?
    How does our happiness endure?
    Through the darkest of our troubles
    Love is beauty, love is pure
    Love pays no mind to desolation
    It flows like a river through the soul
    Protects, perceives, and perseveres
    And makes us whole

    Minutes turn to hours, days to years then gone
    But when all else has been forgotten
    Still our song lives on
    How does a moment last forever
    When our song lives on Writer/s: Alan Menken, Tim Rice
