I saw your inner beauties when I looked into your eyes,

and there was nothing hidden there...no, there was no disguise.

If only for the moment,

all love's wings were on the rise.

If only for the moment,

all love's stars were in the skies.

If only for the moment,

I felt love that never lies.

How I saw your inner beauties,

...when I looked into your eyes.



I saw your inner beauties when I looked into your heart,

and there was something beating there...sounding promise in the dark.

If only for the moment,

sweet love's tune, it cracked the chart.

If only for the moment,

you'd been with me from the start.

If only for the moment,

time worn embers drew a spark.

Yes, I saw your inner beauties

...when I looked into your heart.



So far away I'd seemed before,

but for the moment...not no more.

Such inner beauties, now I see,

the truth in love, so deep to me.

No, there'll be nothing hidden now,

and there'll be no disguise.

There'll only be this moment,

...when I look into your eyes.



Within your light, I come alive.

Within this moment...I've arrived.

Such inner beauties, all I see.

The beat in love...it beats for free.

And, love, it's not in hiding now,

'cause you've saved me from the dark.

There'll only be this moment

...when I look into your heart.



Or, perhaps,"For always...for the moment." I dunno. It jusy might sound better that way.



Forever, for the moment,

all love's wings are on the rise.

Forever, for the moment,

all love's stars are in the skies.

etc.



I don't think that would really conterdict anything...or compromise the meaning. It actually seems to even flow a little better. Just changes that part of the poem to present-tense, but does that part of the poem belong within the moment...or outside of it like it is?



I just feel that "if only for the moment" sounds kind of negative and delivers a wrongful effect to the inspirational aspects to this. Like I'm saying that it's all not meant to prevail. If people take it like that, they will be turned off by it. Like...this love is only for the moment...something temporary...not sincere. But I actually am not really trying to convey it that way. I'm actually trying to say that if it is only for the moment, it is worth it all; just being lost within the moment.
