Stolen Moments

I live in stolen moments
each a shining jewel
ask me not from whom I stole them
I know I play the fool

I can not have forever
I only have here and now
I would not give it up
I know the end must come to soon

The future is a dread
of things we've left unsaid
I hope you will forgive,
The temptation was too great

When all you have is moments
stolen under glass
each a shining jewel,
you take them while you can

tomorrow always comes
and with it comes the end,
but I do not regret my theft
not till the end of time

each shining jewel
to me
is the greatest treasure
I shall ever seek or find
